I googled Kist and it is either a large chest for clothes storage or a person from an ethnic group in Georgia (the country). I am assuming the former!

This normally takes the form of pints of bitter or similar when we meet. Bearing in mind your location this of course may never happen in which case you become an honorary associate member but you will have full bragging rights.

I hope the healing process goes well. Is the Meccano permanent, or do they plan to remove it one day? 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Tony, They have me in splint thing at the moment which has to cure (smells like GF resin) for another day. The physios will equip me with a plastic brace next week that should allow me to flex my elbow. That will be on for quite a number of weeks.

AndyID Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 8 hours ago, New Haven Neil said: Hi Andy, I know where you are just now - my advice for what it is worth, is do not skimp on the pain meds, keep 'ahead of the curve' for a couple of days. If you fall back into the pain zone it is very hard to recover decent analgesia. After three days or so the worst is over and if you feel OK you can ramp down a little. Good luck! Thanks Neil. They encouraged me to "wire into" the analgesics before the block wears off, and I have been. 16 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyID Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Surfing the web in the middle of the night under the influence of goodness knows what might not be such a great idea. I discovered FIAT has reintroduced the 124 Spider to the US. (It's a Fiata - Mazda Miata with a Fiat engine.) 1 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted February 22, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2019 Evening all from Estuary-Land. Looked out a little while ago and the mist and fog was already forming. Hope its OK when we go to Tenterden tomorrow. I did intend to go via the A274 via Headcorn but if its too foggy I might have to stick to the M20. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted February 22, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2019 Andy, that's certainly an impressive piece of work. My old friend who was an orthopod before he retired used to rate the work of surgeons who implanted such things. He had to sort some of them when the injured parties returned to the UK. Top of his list for good work were the Swiss. Apparently they not only did very good work (Obviously lots of practice in Winter) but the screws had a very funny socket in the head so they always taped an Allen type key that fitted the sockets to the cast, for which he was most grateful. I hope that it heals well. The kist (It is a large clothes chest) is now in the trailer safely in the shed for the next few days. It had been in the centre of the sitting room and three of us got it out onto the road through the dining room window. It belongs to our friends Claude and Delia. Claude is in his 80's and has a very serious heart condition which is inoperable but he will keep trying to help. He's small and when we are lifting things he has a habit of suddenly popping up from nowhere trying to help the lifting. Today, if we had had to put the kist down quickly he would have been underneath it and no one knew he was there. He's an absolute menace. Anyway after a glass of wine I went back to the shed and cut two more joints and leg unit 3 is now assembled. Only another 12 to go.

Simon G Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Pleased to report that the car passed its MOT OK. Spent a good part of today starting to tackle the weeds that have taken over the garden over winter. Tomorrow we have plans to visit Cockermouth for a bit of shopping, then returning for a certain rugby match on the TV. 17 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium TheQ Posted February 22, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2019 Evening Awl, Just back from the MRC where I had one of those days where a little bit of work made the whole board come together and seem like a huge advance.. Going there the mist was rising as the last glimmers of sunset were leaving. The mist was not just having watched news with the fly past of a park in Sheffield... On return it was feavy hog time . Also on return I noticed as I sat upright in the landrover my neck was not happy, with all the leaning over the layout.. It's quite painful now, so some Amber fluid is being consumed... Time to order some gates.. 20mm x6mm... 9 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
