Good Luck all
@jacaranda,
Thanks jacaranda, another one of those typo's. "Garlic" would have given her the correct word anyway. LOL Haven't even had a drink yet.
@Dutchy,
Hi Dutchy
Glad you did make another typo I had agaba as my answer as I have just been filling out my grids for the colossus when I saw your post.
Think you can go and have a drink now and one for me as well.LOL
@jacaranda,
Thanks for your contribution.
