Then, walking through Henley this afternoon, there was Bill's painting in pride of place in the window of a newly opened art gallery!RG9noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859687831698414080.post-39313723360776263442009-07-20T16:41:13.037+01:002009-07-20T16:41:13.037+01:00Yes, as RG9 says, Bill was taken into hospital for...Yes, as RG9 says, Bill was taken into hospital for an operation last Thursday. He's recovering well but will be there for a few days yet. One of his first requests however was his laptop and that coupled with a USB broadband dongle and a helpful friend with fast typing fingers might allow him to post something in the coming days, though he gets tired very quickly.<br />I'll pass on your good wishes, RG9, I'm sure he'll appreciate it.AnotherGoodFriendnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859687831698414080.post-92093148746529512562009-07-20T16:05:20.866+01:002009-07-20T16:05:20.866+01:00For those of you who don't know - and I hope B...For those of you who don't know - and I hope Bill won't mind me posting this when he returns - he had an operation last week and may not be posting for a little bit.<br />I am sure I can speak for everyone when I say we all wish him a full and speedy recovery.RG9noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859687831698414080.post-80079774544097974652009-07-15T18:16:34.713+01:002009-07-15T18:16:34.713+01:00I told folk it was a blue condom too!

They simply didn't care what their wash was doing to the other boats or the river bank.<br /><br />Anyway, I hope tomorrow goes well for you.
