Well, I have a broken leg and ankle at the moment, so not much to do
other than work, read, play games, watch dvds and surf. I'll be here.

OK.

I'll do some reading and eating. My absence alone will mean fewer posts -
from those who can't bear not to have a pop at Mary :-)

Hey Grunff,

Don't let those 'minor' injuries stop you doing any DIY!

I broke my leg just above the ankle back in '82 that required the Tib and
Fib to be plated and screwed (up through the ankle bone) and what did my
sister-in-law do when I got out of hospital? She got me tiling her hall
floor with those PVC tiles - she thought I looked a little bored - and both
her and sister (my wife) found it highly amusing to see me crawling about
the floor with my leg in plaster laying the adhesive and sticking the tiles
down :-)

When the surgeon saw the adhesive on my plaster a few weeks later he gave me
one hell of a rollicking as I was supposed to have been 'taking it easy' -
not much chance of that at the time though - ahhhh.. the things we do when
we are young!

I must have done something right tho' those ruddy tiles are still there to
this day!

Not just young. When Spouse had a hip replacement two yearsago - might have
been three - he was well over sixty anyway and he was up a ladder installing
double glazing in the bedrom a fortnight after coming out of hospital.

Maxie, does Dim Lin, the Oriental enchantress, have pops at Mary? And here
I was thinking you had her under control.

Fortunately, after 4 years' work, I can honestly say that the house is
completely finished. There's no required DIY to be found. Of course
there are various projects in the workshop, but those can wait.

Impressive. I'm not sure I'd have been so accommodating.

Maxie, nice to see you have woken up out of your drunken hangover.

Tell SWMBO you need massage... and lots of it ;-)

Nothing very exciting I'm afraid - just slipped on some gravel and fell
in an odd way.

At least I did it /after/ finishing all work on the house :-)

I'll add that to my list of 'ways to try her patience'.

I know lots of pubs by the river in and near Oxford, but which one
is the nice one?

Maxie!!! Refrain my dear boy. You could have sneaked out of the clinic and
spoilt the therapy.
