Gordon knew I was in for bowel surgery just after he went in, so in a way, it's quite appropriate. Needless to say, I'm out now and hope Gordon will be soon.

This is indeed, great news and thank you for letting us all know. I was beginning to feel quite anxious about his lack of progress but feel that a start on the road to recovery has been made. No doubt there will be be dumps in the road (dips in the track/ broken rails) but it's good to know a start has been made. It's good of his family to allow you to keep us informed of developments.

Home on Thursday. Yay!

But they were next pecking order to the Almighty.

Ah the good days,eh?
