Should really get youself an up to date phone, a moderator on another site has become more active during a spell in hospital.

Just make sure you look over those Otto drawings before poping a cork particularly as after Guildford I now have some more metal stocks that need converting to swarf.

Thanks Stuart and Bill  :)

Isn't it amazing how many last minute things still need doing before you go in  :paranoia:

Thanks Guys,

Maybe a drawing  :noidea: a picture of one of my models and the workshop  :naughty:

Best wishes Jo for a good OUT-come (of Surus) and a speedy recovery. I think you'll find that your week in the hospital may go faster than you think.

We'll be looking forward to your return to us.

Being ignorant of medical matters I looked Surus up on t'internetty.  It seems to be either Hannibal's chief war elephant, a takeaway curry house in Leicester or a trucking company in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Whichever it is (and I'm not going to ask) I hope the cure goes well and you are back to your Jaffa Cakes and castings self when it's done.
Take care and don't spoil the recovery by rushing it.

Thanks Guys  :)

I have been out and made sure all the boys are behaving themselves: Tgs has mounted up his big vice and acquired one of the Swan cylinders and Mr Silky set up to prove what a big stud maker he can be  :embarassed: I am not sure I will be up to playing with either for a few weeks  :-\

Someone  :( has been getting restless today or is it my anxiety building  :noidea: I am not sure that even a bit of casting fondling will over come this but if anyone would like to donate some castings to a worthwhile cause I am willing to try a new one: You never know the right casting might just do the trick :naughty:

Best wishes Jo and a speedy recovery - remember to do the allowed exercises as soon as you are permitted to as they help quite a bit in getting up and about.
