    Being on the mend can try the patience of a Saint but try not to stir the Commandant too much lest the escape plan be compromised.

    Here's hoping that you both have smooth sailing for the remainder of your confinement and for the big move ahead.

    best regards,
    Ken

    I am a master at preventing goal escapes. which probably makes me pretty good at planning them. At least I know what to look for. If yu need any help. I'm jut a key board click away. Continue your recovery and be kind to the caretakers. Enjoy the new digs. Moving house is always exciting.

    So glad to read all the updates, Mrs Jock, thanks for the story, it gave me a smile. I'm glad the "Team Jock" print has been well received. As for moving house, well it does happen from time to time, it sounds like the new residence will be at least more comfortable and possibly better for Jock which is all for the good.

    Jock,

    Glad you are thinking about your post hospital plans.

    Your cottage sounds like a winner

    Cheers

    You didn't mention but dare it be so luxurious that it even has indoor plumbing?

    Now, do I take this as a serious question? Am I heading for an ambush here? Oh, go on Jock get on and answer the question! Oh yes, hot and cold running water and all the usual facilities. Just like the old house. The difference being that the plumbing in the new house is probably 150 years younger!

    Jock, Perhaps it will help to think of the one step forward/back as building momentum for your eventual release. (Rocking at the starting line, just waiting for the signal to ... GO!)

    Best wishes for your continued recovery, and best of luck to all of the various movers (and shakers!).
    John
