Just wonderful, even more than usual, and I do hope you completely recover at a pace that you are happy with. I was ill a great deal as a child, rather seldom thank goodness as an adult, but I have a very specific fondness for the mornings I wake up and realise that I am better. And talking of waking up, one of the worst was turning on the radio the morning after that wretchedly ill-conceived and hopelessly managed referendum and bursting into tears at the result. The utter carelessness of it all!

Oh, and I must mention that footie photo: I am famously (famous in my family, I mean) averse to the beautiful game, and not keen on sport on any kind, but my eye had also been caught by that fuchsia picture. Not only the gorgeous colour, but the perfection of the moment, the apparent impossibility of the stance: breathtaking. And congratulations on your retirement!
