 I'm home again after 3 weeks in hospital.  I don't know if the quality of
 daytime TV is the same everywhere but in Sydney it was a choice of endless
 tennis or re-runs of 1970/80/90 TV dramas and sitcoms.  I can't stand
 televised tennis so I chose the re-runs, but I think I'm now MacGyvered out.

 I'm now walking OK, but my style and speed wont win any prizes for some
 time. The left arm is improving but keyboard operations are still a bit of a
 problem so i won't be posting regularly for a while.  I expect to be having
 more therapy as an outpatient for 4-6 weeks.

 A special thanks to Bill Robb and Igor for taking care of the PUG at short
 notice.  Bill, I hope you can continue for another month until I see how my
 gallery compilation skills re-develop.

 My biggest complaint is that i haven't taken a single photo in 2013!  The
 K-5 is still a bit beyond me but the Q should be useable - I'm about to
 order the 5-15mm zoom for it.

 Anyway, it's good to be back on the list and dealing with the daily flood of

Sorry to hear your TV fare has been so limited, but glad you're able to

endure it.


I hope you have a smooth, steady and quick path to a full recovery. Take

I'm home again after 3 weeks in hospital.  I don't know if the quality
of daytime TV is the same everywhere but in Sydney it was a choice of
endless tennis or re-runs of 1970/80/90 TV dramas and sitcoms.  I can't
stand televised tennis so I chose the re-runs, but I think I'm now
MacGyvered out.

I'm now walking OK, but my style and speed wont win any prizes for some
time. The left arm is improving but keyboard operations are still a bit
of a problem so i won't be posting regularly for a while.  I expect to
be having more therapy as an outpatient for 4-6 weeks.

A special thanks to Bill Robb and Igor for taking care of the PUG at
short notice.  Bill, I hope you can continue for another month until I
see how my gallery compilation skills re-develop.

My biggest complaint is that i haven't taken a single photo in 2013!
The K-5 is still a bit beyond me but the Q should be useable - I'm about
to order the 5-15mm zoom for it.

Anyway, it's good to be back on the list and dealing with the daily
flood of mail!

Welcome back. Certainly I can do the PUG for another month. This is a tough 
crowd, they all say they can hardly wait until you can take over again.

Good to hear you back in contact.
Sorry about the TV - same here in the USA.
I hope this will be just a small bump in the road when you look back.
