Only just saw this, which was as well, because the news is better, and the Big Fella has spoken.

Christmas in hospital is a drag, as I know from three years back, and worst for the family. But I reckon Mick's being there will be quite good for the other people who have to be in there at this time, especially the nurses. And the cleaners - they always seemed a good lot in my experience.

Having the guitar in there is good company, especially if they've stuck you in a single room, which can be a lot less interesting than a shared ward.

Be back soon, but take your time.
