I have bad news for you. Just after installing new glass in the windows
in April of 2006 when this question was asked the OP has passed.

He was sitting in the garden enjoying a cold beer when a breeze came up.
The glass was blown out of a poorly glazed window, crashing on his
head. A shard of glass cut his carotid artery.

It was a nice funeral and after the service people were invited for a
bbq where they served home made blood sausage.
