Damn, it took you 4x as long sober? There's a problem with that somewhere...  ;)

Bet the pub never looked so good as it did today!

I actually went last Tuesday for the first time as well but was escorted by my Son Jonathan, this time I made it on my own.
It was bingo night and all my friends were in there and I managed to win £8.00. It would have paid for the beer that I couldn't have. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Soon maybe, I've got to start putting weight on somehow.   ::)

Something else Sam....there are no calories in liquid (or in this case beer) so don't count on that to add weight. Or at least that's what I always tell Deb.

Not as bad as when there was that crappy Elvis impersonator there, you needed to drink more to try and make him sound better ;D.

On the whole we are both well, but we are having a waiting game now, Hannah is due to pop in just over 4 weeks and we have been told by the doctors that bub is likely to come early.  I guess time will tell ;D.

Thanks Sam, it is meant to be a girl, Hannah has had a few scans and every time they say it's a girl so there is a pretty good chance they have it right.

That Elvis impersonator was shocking, not to mention loud. My ears were ringing for two days after that night. It's hard to believe that it was nearly two years ago we were over there last. I only wish we could afford for both of us to come over next year. :-\

I've just had a visit from the Neurological Rehab teams Physiotherapist and she was over the moon with my progress.
All the broken bones are knitting together nicely and she could not see any ongoing problems.
I just need to get a little more exercise and she is going to send me some ideas through the post of what she wants me to concentrate on.
Things are looking up people, thanks for all the continuing get well soon messages, they really are appreciated.

How long before you can throw a leg over a small bike and go for a spin, Sam? And when on earth are they going to prescribe 1 litre arm curls as part of your physio???? The pubs needs your business  ::)
