Re: Hope on the Horizon
Hi Perry, sorry to hear you are in pain BUT if in the longer term you have more movement and flexibility the short term pain will be worth it. Here's hoping that it all works out really well for you and you'll be able to do the things you want to do in the future. Thinking of you and wishing you the...

Re: Happy birthday Roadie
Happy 70th Roadie!!!
I'm glad we were able to share a dram or two at Barambah in anticipation of the great event and I look forward to sharing in still more drams when I see you again at a shoot soon.
My recovery continues to go well albeit slowly.

Re: temudjin's heart
Well everyone, got through the op ok - some pain but not too bad.
6 weeks before I can drive... not sure how long to draw a bow. We'll just have to start the journey and see.
Thanks for all the kind wishes - they are very much appreciated.
Hope to see you all soon.

Hi Ronster,
tonight's forecast suggests that the weather for Saturday and Sunday "may" be better than originally forecast so I guess we'll just have to keep praying and dancing and see what the next couple of days bring.
Hope to see you there under non-rainy skies.

Chris,
rotten luck, hope you get better soon.
You could always try the standard Queensland cure... drink a shot or two of rum! It will either kill the germs or at least help you sleep.
Hopefully we'll see you at Gympie next weekend?
