I am not not much as I had an accident, so I will try to say everything here, and hope I remember it all.
Dubs: I had a fall out walking Ruby-dog on 5th January and shattered my right elbow. I had a 5 hour operation on it on the 12th January and the consultant said that he had to do work on every piece of bone. I am full of metal, buttons and bells! Does this make me a transhuman now?
I have to do everything with my left hand, including typing, which is very slow but a real learning curve. It was very painful but now it is more aching, heavy (like a sleeping arm) and really cold all the time. Worse are the drugs I have to take: 2x codeine; 2 x high strength paracetamol; 2 time high strength ibuprofen and liquid morphine all together every four hours. I feel very sick and get ill when I have eaten, but that seems to be easing now.
Hex: I am jealous (but very pleased for you). Keep it up. I "asked" for an adventure in my grey little life, and look what happened. If only I had Finnish gods too.
MP: I hope you and dubs get to do that work together.
Spacey: may you and Mia do a lot of dancing.
Sketts: I am glad that spammer met you at last! I hope it was in the dark.

That'll teach him!
Ian, thank you for the info on the cb oil. I have started the hunt for something suitable for my dad.
humanspirit: I wish I was a billionaire. I wouldn't be hogging it in a bank, but sending it as best I could to where it was needed.
Wub: I don't have a dictation thingy, unless it is built into all laptops. Mine is a twp year old Toshiba thing (rubbish. Always freezing up).
That is it. I now have back ache from hunching over the laptop and have worked my left wrist harder than ever in its life (no rude jokes on that please

). I will catch up with you all soon. Have fun and many good adventures. xxx
