I'm back,
Just starting to feel human again after a few days that passed with ample refreshment. The best man has gone north to visit family before returning to Ireland,the lady of the house had to work today,that proves there is a god because letting me out in Public today would involve considerable occupational health and safety concerns. Thanks to all for your kind comments,we had a tremendous time.

I'll be back in the shed soon,who knows we might even get that diff done  by May :|
Few understand what I'm trying to do but they vastly outnumber those who understand why...................

For all of those that are close to him, has he changed for the better?

We can always hope.

We certainly are not hearing much from Goggles.

He may be having a tough time with the censor.

Or he may be exhausted.

Thats what happens when you sign the contract, you divide your life up into all the new stuff & see what you have left!

 I spoke to Goggles on Friday, and he was sitting with Deb at the Philip Island penguin parade, waiting for the penguins.
No, really!

Me and mine went to Philip Island today, on the way home from a holiday house in Venus Bay.
We had a lovely lunch, and then it took us an hour to get the 6 or so miles off the island.
