    Thank you also for the reminder.

    While Bob has a good point about not too much you tube ...
    I try to avoid youtube as much as I can, but these days SWMBO can't drive and as the only free taxi driver available I'm increasingly finding myself waiting in the car while she is in the fabric shop or pharmacy or docs etc and invariably turn to the mobile for hentertainment. after checking out the forums and ebay, I sometimes end up on youtube watching border collie videos. What I should do is get off my fat and take my own border collies for a walk - they're usually already in the back of the 4WD. Anyway after half a dozen border collie, or other dog videos I find I'm watching some bloke sticking a feather up his clacker and claiming he can fly.

    Even without ads most vids are too long and too cluttered with irrelevant stuff etc.

    So you clearly haven't watched free to air tv lately?
    When it comes to watching drivel like celebrities stuck on an island, some bloke getting married at first sight, or some bimbo whoring herself to 15 guys because she is a bachelorette... then I think I'll take a feather up the butt and a short step off a tall ledge.

    Hardly watch any FTATV. I might turn tellie on to channel 24 at about 6pm for about a hour but I don’t sit and watch it but usually do something else like cook, pack/unpack dishwasher, read, or go do something on computer. Occasionally watch half an ABC sciencey doco or part of something for kids with grandies eg Bluey but that’s on iview or similar. I find it really difficult to sit still long enough to watch an entire movie etc. i go to the movie theatre about once a year just to keep SWMBO company. SWMBO reckons I must have some form of ADD. SWMBO watches most things on her iPad including a fair bit of youtube about her craft stuff.

    Saw the surgeon again today. He was most delighted to show me the X Ray I had done yesterday showed that the patch up he’d done has healed so well that you can’t tell where the break was (other than from the presence of the hardware). So I’m now bipedal again, albeit somewhat awkwardly at the moment because I have to keep the moon boot still for a bit until I get a bit more muscle strength back. I can go back to work as soon as the physio says I have enough range of motion, hopefully end of January.

    Hey Tadpole, how about an update are you still on the mend?

    So… I have approval to return to work on restricted duty next week.

    Not going to lie, it’s not going to be pleasant. My ankle is still nowhere near 100% so that’s going to be a bit uncomfortable in the knee high CFM boots I wear at work, but it’s probably not going suck as much as the alarm going off at 4am again..

    Fingers crossed then that things are not going to be too bad for you.

    Like Graeme, and I suspect everyone reading, I wish you well on this next step of the journey.
    May work be kind and the activity/interaction and income overcome the 4am alarm!
    cheers

    Thanks.

    The pay cheque is sufficient to buy my silence on quite a number of counts

    Oh and for those that are interested, the roller door finally got replaced last Thursday

    I won't complain. I endorse same sex marriage... as long as both chicks are hot.
