Not an alien
« on: July 11, 2009, 06:53:20 PM »
My wife and I had some very bad news the other day, who needs to know have been told the details, and we will leave it at that.

Maybe a few of you will have got the news thru the grapevine.

To help cope with the stresses we will both be going thru in the very near future, we have taken on an air of optimism and fighting spirit, and I myself will be doing a lot more posting if possible, but sometimes I will not be able to post at all. I will be using my workshop as a bolt hole and stress reliever. So whatever I get up to to take my mind off things, I will be showing here.

So please, just because we are having difficulties, don't think that you should not contact me thru Skype or any of the usual routes, just for a chat. I will hopefully be my usual jovial self and you should find no differences, like green skin or six eyes. Just my usual five.

My workshop will still be open to anyone who wants to visit, just call first to make sure that we will be in.

We are after no pity or well wishes, we are just trying to be as normal as possible thru difficult times.

John

During these trying times put your wife and yourself first. The rest of your extended family on the forum will all be able to understand. If there is anything that we might do to help please let us know.

As always, I look forward to reading all your posts as they are usually a learning experience. :smart:

All the best. :wave:

Many thanks lads, and it is nice seeing a bit of humour creeping in.

Just what is needed at times like this.
