Thank you Alastair,
If we got to a restriction free December, drink might well be taken.
I had planned to have the boat lifted out this winter but am now wondering if we couldn't actually get a bit more use of her now the hip is sorted.
Certainly less expensive to stay in.

I have been reading the Reverend Bob’s book on Arctic Sailing. He advises getting practice by sailing throughout the winter and anchoring deliberately in dubious anchorages, exposed and tied to the shore to learn how to manage such risks. So you would be in good company. Personally, snuggly anchored in Pul-dor-an, or in the lock at Crinan, or any of the marinas, subject to wind direction, or other enclosed anchorages, with a good meal, a warm boat and a whisky or two, listening to the wind and rain beat down on the coachroof, would be far more pleasant.

Coming along nicely
Looks like I've been bitten on the airse by a shark.
I'd post a picture if my technical incompetence would let me.

All is plodding on nicely now
Walking without arthritic pain - still a bit tender where they used the stanley knife.
Sad to say the wound site is a little puckered up in places so that's me out of the beautiful arse competition from here on in I think.
The worst part of the whole shooting match - apart from having to sleep on my back - was the Constipation. It took a week but then joy of joys - I gave birth to healthy 25 pounder which brought tears to my eyes and teethmarks to the bathroom door.
6 weeks on now and much mobility is restored - can't sleep on my side yet which I understand is causing insomnia for vast tracts of the PR3 postcode area.
Seeing the Consultant next Friday so hoping I will be discharged or whatever - driving again which is a relief - Dear Heart's driving frightens me

Be careful for what you wish for. I have friends that won't be put off by a little puckering....claymore wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 11:20 am All is plodding on nicely now

Great news on the recovery. Your jobby jest reminds me of a story from a long time ago. A friend had crashed his bike and smashed his pelvis: split it in two places, very lucky. Much traction later a gang of us are visiting and we are told to wait by the nurses. They had just given him laxatives as he was now allowed “to go”. We of course did not know this but were gagging and retching as the most foul, thick stench, literally knocked as over. When the nurses pulled curtain back, the biggest smile, happiest guy in town, with tear stained cheeks just said, “I am glad to see you”.
