On my way home from Barnstaple today I stopped by to see @The_Yellow_Ardvark (once again I can confirm he’s not yellow nor is he an Ardvark)

I think he’s a bit of a fraud with his name, but don’t tell him. Ssshhhhhh

We had coffee, put the world to rights, then I got one of these

I’ll be honest with you, Mr Vark popped in to mine a good few months ago for a random brew. He saw my baby milling machine, I mentioned that I could do with a vice. He used his special skills to locate one within a couple of weeks. It’s just taken me months to line up all the ducks and actually pic this up.

Top blokes is our @The_Yellow_Ardvark

Courtesy of Duffield Timber near Ripon, a gorgeous plank of Sycamore that will become a couple of chopping boards for OH, and an Oak burr that's the perfect size and shape for making into a side table for me. It will fit nicely between my armchair and the stove, and is just the right size for a bottle of single malt and a glass, and and a plate of cheese and crackers .

Royal London to see a specialist to find out what they are going to do with with a big lump of dead bone and infected fragments in my leg. Apparently it's either hear or Oxford. I have no idea what's in store. Didn't know I was coming till yesterday, appointment was not till a few weeks but new infection has got a tighter grip this time.

Best of luck, WorkshopChris!
I've been going through similar sequence which has, thankfully, eliminated return of Prostate cancer.

Thanks, am back on Friday for a nuclear medicine CT scan a quick injection of gamma something then a quick initial scan then back about 3 hours later for the in-depth scan to see how far its spread. The consultant has said at this stage they will have to cut away absolutely anything that is or may be infected all the mussel, and bone might even end up with a shorter leg.
Can't believe all this from a simple fracture at the start of the year.

B####r! Sent OH a photo of said timber and she's got designs on my oak burr! This might get ugly(er) .
