Reality check ! For me. No - the Virus didnt get me yet - thank God. Hope youre all keeping extra-safe out there. A decision to relax controls doesnt suddenly make the danger go away. But me ?? Yes, Ive been quiet. Reason ? As well as getting over-stretched and harassed by too many demands ... I managed to rip my Gluteus Maximus to shreds in a moment of over-enthusiastic gardening. So suddenly I find myself in a hospital getting scanned to find out exactly how much Ive actually damaged myself. Turns out I did a thorough job - this is a couple of days ago - and I wont be able to walk for a while ... or sleep, without a lot of assistance, because the pain is relentless. So, folks ... I need to go dark for a while, getting some complete rest, at home. Please, please dont send me sympathy - I just need some healing silence for a while. Ill be back - but I need the complete break. OK ? Thanks. Take care out there. Bri
