I’ve been away (still am!) and only just did a search to see if you had posted Rufus. So glad I did. I do read but don’t comment much but it’s lovely to see you’re back. Keep well. ?

This old man comes rolling home'
Evening All!
Yes, this Old Man has come rolling home yet again, gathering no moss. he hopes, but totally overwhelmed and humbled by your good wishes in another thread.
I'm sorry to have kept you in suspenders for four weeks, but I was discharged from hospital only today.
Stupid fool that I am, I went to sit down in my electric lift and tilt armchair which was tilted too far forward and slid out on my bum.
Unfortunately, a glass of sherry was sent flying, smashed and inhibited my efforts to wriggle back without risk of serious damage, so the paramedic rescue team was deployed once again.
This time I spent a week in my favourite hospital's Accident and Emergency ward undergoing all the scans you could think of. followed by three weeks in a re-habilitation hospital
Not good news
That's another story, however.
Not much better news of Covid OZ style, either, but at least the hospital was Covid-free. and Man City had two good wins in my absence! 
Good Health 
OoRoo
Good to see you. 
Glad to see you back Rufus. I tried to only smile a little at your description of your slide and loss of sherry (and the glass). I hope the results of all those scans is a clean bill of health.
Welcome back old buddy!! How dare you scare your fan club this way. I even resorted to reading the tribute column in The Age in case you had received an honourable mention
Wow lovely to see you back Rufus I was giving up hope! Now don’t give us anymore frights! Cheers!
Welcome back, you old reprobate.
