I am very relieved and glad to tell all that might have been worried and who contacted me to ask whether I had heard from Mick lately, that he is alive and reasonably well, but in great spirits but also in great pain, after a bad fall just over 3 weeks ago.
we have just had 45 minutes talking on the phone and he tells me that he was down at the workshop/garage that he does his business at, 3 weeks ago when whilst lifting a sheet of 8' x 4' 25mm ply he fell backwards onto a couple of MGB stub axles and some other suspension parts, which dug into his back...…..and the plywood sheet fell on top of him...….he was lay there for nearly 4 hours in agony before a friend realised that there was a problem with him not answering the phone, and came to his aid.
he is very battered and bruised but in good spirits and wishes us all a lovely sunny summer, and hopes to be back at the computer within a week, unless some kind person can set it up by his bedside, as he is confined to his pit for complete bed rest on the doctors orders for the time being.
a lucky escape some would say...……..I told him he was a silly stubborn old fart, who should get someone in to shift his 8x4's....he'll never learn
