Hi all. Thanks for your concern, iggy is alive, and I am sorry for the lack of communication, but last year was my ANNUS HORIBALOUS as our Queen described hers when Diana died. 4 Deaths, (Three of them Family) and my best friend and best man at our wedding, lying in bed like a cabbage having had a massive stroke in August. Another friend has had both knees replaced, and I have been diagnosed as having no Cartilage in the first joint of my Right Ankle and have to go in for a new joint sometime soon. I don?t mind the op but the specialist told me I had to give up smoking for 6 weeks before and 6 weeks after the op, ?Nightmare?. There were a couple of positives about the year, namely; Bill (Gabby) recovered his ordeal and we had a welcome visit from Marg and Trevor. I tried to absorb myself in work to offset the depression and ended up wearing out my new EX 21, fortunately it was still under warranty so Axminster tools replaced it with an EX30 at no extra cost.
I am feeling a bit more positive now and have decided that it is no good hiding the depressive state under a bush as there are people out there who do care so thanks again for your support and concern especially to Bill, Keefie, Marg and Rob.
