Glad that worked for you, V, but that's different to how I do it. I put my cold 
eggs into boiling water. But if your way works, it works.
Sometimes it's hard to figure out which is the end with the air sac. An easy 
way to make sure you pierce the right end of the egg is to put it in water, the 
end with the air sac points up.

My eldest granddaughters are Swifties. I don't get it meself, all the songs 
sound the same to me and instantly forgettable. I reckon I might be getting a 
bit old.

Well we're waiting for a hard lesson in high altitude football/soccer from the 
Mexicans who will in all probability thrash us. 01 am Sunday night/Monday 
morning. Good excuse to stay up and drink lots of cold beer to drown our 
sorrows. And the weather forecasters have threatened us with another heatwave 
and I'm only just recovering from the last one.
