Good luck. Ours goes back on the market this week.
I'm not looking forward to this morning. An 80 mile drive with wifey so we can argue about the inside colours of the van conversion, achieve nothing, then drive 80 miles home.
Good luck. Ours goes back on the market this week.

Getting ready to have my hand sorted, but won't be able to touch type for around 6 weeks, possibly longer, so that is annoying! I am hopeless and one hand typing, it saps my energy badly.
good luck fella
Investigate voice input. It may require 'training', but could help at least in getting ideas out of your head.the_priest wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 9:51 am

Snapped tendons in my middle finger left hand has caused it to stay bent. So I cannot express my thoughts to other drivers clearly... happened over two years ago, corona virus and lousy GP intervention meant big delays in getting it fixed. What was a simple procedure is now cut tendons and a steel pin down the middle of my finger for two weeks or so.... not looking forward to it, but also need to be able to use my hand more effectively!Yorick wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 9:55 amIsolation ?

I think she broke more than her elbow falling out the back door last week, her hand and fingers are decidedly swollen and there was no way the ring was coming off (tried elevation, cooling and lube.....no smutty comments please, but to no avail). Hero and villain in one job. Hospital driver tomorrow taking her to fracture clinic for more X-rays.
Never did get around to drink rum with him. Peter died today.gremlin wrote: ↑Sun Mar 28, 2021 7:32 pm Me and the missus went to see friends we made a year ago when we were put in touch with them as they were shielding. Lovely couple, he turned 80 recently and she's 73, both younger than their years.
During lockdown last year he had another heart attack which left him in ICU, but being ex-RN he battled back, only to discover through some random tests that he had terminal cancer centred around his spine.
He was in good spirits, albeit a bit dazed and rambling at times. He was also wearing a harness to support his head as his spine is getting weaker. He talked at length about arranging a birthday party for his wife in July and how he was planning a fundraiser for the British Legion in the summer too.
In the kitchen his wife told us they had given him a month, two tops but he's determined to defy the odds.
Tough old bugger.
He was so pleased we came around and insisted we come back for an evening and drink some rum together.
