From The Hospital Ward

I have an appointment on Monday to get the cast taken off and the stitches removed. I've noticed some slight improvement in my right hand flexibility: I can now tie my own shoes for example.

I watched The Guns of Naverone yesterday as part of my recovery film festival. Today will be either Barry Lyndon or The Blue Max.

I have also been reading my way through a stack of books and annuals written by Charles S. Grant, which is an enjoyable way to pass a lot of time.

    Happy that you are on the road to recovery. Never underestimate the medicinal value of revisiting favorite films and hobby literature. Clearly, it's just the thing.

    Best Regards,

    Stokes

    Yes, the itching inside the wrap is annoying.

    Thankfully I rarely get ill but Lindsay who teaches tinnies has picked up a foul bug which she has managed to pass onto me. So yesterday (sunday) I did nothing except take elder daughter to the airport to go skiing. I cancelled lunch with my mum and the two of us sat and watched back to back episodes of Breaking Bad. I think we are up to episode 62. We must be near the end soon!

    Mrs Fritz and I did a binge watching festival of Breaking Bad and watched all six seasons in about 3 months last year.
