To everyone who knows about me cracked ribs etc (riding accident) thanks for the advice and ideas to keep occupied. I reckon on getting out next week (and as long as me sicknote lasts) Ive sharpened everything, made tinder out of all manner of stuff and stunk the house out making char cloth. On my outing to Tescos with "she that must be obeyed" I spied a coconut which Ive turned into a drinking vessel. As soon as the leg of lamb has thawed Im gonna bone that out. I might even find a use for the bone . Be careful and enjoy the summer while it lasts.
