	I didn't do much. Changed the sofa covers from grey ones to white. Then randomly looked up 'Origins of surnames', only to find one of my Cornish 5 x great grandfathers, Richard Messer (born 1775) has an Ashkenazic Jewish name meaning 'cutler' or 'knife'! :-S ...but there are 'Messers' in Cornwall in 1589, so I think they may have settled in :-D
