Commiserations. My mum broke her ankle getting out of the car. Apparently we are quite fragile.
If you are stuck on the sofa I would recommend a month of nowtv or netflix or similar, got to be better than daytime telly!
Get well soon.

Ouff. Sorry to hear that Rich. My colleague did that, just slipped a few inches off the bottom step of a ladder but landed awkwardly, and he was out of action for weeks. Best wishes for a swift recovery.

When I sold my first flat we had a few drinks to celebrate. Upon leaving the pub I twisted my ankle badly on a step, and as I hobbled down, I twisted my other ankle on the very next step I had to get a taxi back to the flat which was only about 400 yards away. Get well soon.

Maybe we should have a new thread: "Injuries we should not have got"

Sort of an update. I managed to compound my stupidly with an even greater act of stupidity.
I bought a new wood saw, marched out into the garden to cut some branches off a tree. First cut, slipped and sliced right into the top of my left hand finger, yep, right down to the bone. Well it's healed up now but still chuffin sore and of course I've now got a "A" in constantly bumping it for some reason.
But the V6 project ...... it's alive, just, a bit like me. I've started on it again. Whilst I've not been able to do anything what with one thing and another, I have returned to the standard Jaguar inlet manifold and a "possible" solution to the bonnet issues. More on this as and when.
I reckon another couple of months and I shall back on the project. Regards. Rich.

Glad to hear your V6 project is still simmering. Hope the finger heals soon and you can avoid modifying yourself further.

Hi there and thanks for the interest.
Well what a poxy year this has been. Just as I though things where getting better, four weeks ago today I was quickly taken into hospital. Impacted kidney stones. F-ing hell! Pain, I said.....PAIN! YES PAIN!!
So here I am today, the first day off the meds and over 8Kg lighter feeling like I've been run over. At my age this is going to take some getting over. So I'm not doing anything until next year now and I'm just going to concentrate on getting better. I'm still well into my MX-5 and looking forward to working on it again some time next year.
Regards. Rich.

Hmmm, kidney stones, I know exactly where you're coming from with those things. I was having to drink 8 pints of water a day to flush the critters out. Best of luck with your recovery so you can continue with your project.
