Well I'm finally off all pain medication... a bit sore today though. I had my first beer last night (well 4 in fact) and thoroughly enjoyed them.

I still ache a bit (maybe from scrabbling round on my hands and kneew, trying to find the leak in my neices water main under her front hedge) but that's another story.

All in all, satisfactory progress can be reported.
