My absence, and news from NZ

I’ve had both some health issues, and some computer and Internet issues of late, so haven’t been able to update folks much.

My friend in NZ is in hospital as I write this, the first of a pair of operations will take place today, and I wish her well. I spoke to her last night, and she again wanted me to thank all of you who contributed, both monetarily and with your words of encouragement for her. I will advise you of the outcome of the surgery today as soon as I have word from her daughter.

Those of you who are owed “thank-you” whistles, they are being built, and will be to you as soon as I can complete the lot. A couple have already received theirs, and I do hope they’re a happy addition for you.

Again, thanks to everyone on this wonderful board!
