Mudcatter, Skipper Jack,(Dave Robinson) from Baggyrinkle Swansea Shantymen, is in hospital. He has had tummy problems for about a year now and was admitted to Swansea's Singleton Hospital on Thursday. He had an operation today to remove cancer from his bowel. He came through OK & was resting up tonight. I'm sure we all wish him a speedy recovery.

The Skipper, of course, isn't the only Baggyrinkle lurking in the 'Cattery - we're all keeping our fingers crossed for him, and so far it all looks promising. There are quite strong links between the Baggies and Men of Sweyn's Ey (the local geriatric morris side), I'll pass Pavane's wishes (and all the rest) on to Dave this weekend. Sorry Spaw - he couldn't do 25 sit-ups when he was fit!

All my best wishes for a quick recovery and good health in the future. I feel for you; they found a precancerous polyp in my bowel a couple of years ago, and now I have to have a colonoscopy every year – bleah! Having intestinal problems is no fun!!! So please, get well soon!

All the best to you. Boy, I know that routine of abdominal surgery. You'll probably feel much better when you're out of the hospital. I know you're looking forward to getting back home. All good wishes!

Dave's op looks successful - he's been re-plumbed (aren't Jubilee clips wonderful?) and looks set for a good many choruses to come. Thanks for all the good wishes, which I'll pass on.

Besides, the provision of important and interesting backroom services to Baggyrinkle is Madam G's job.

Yesterday evening Karen, true to her word, came along with Billy and myself to eat Daves' grapes. We didn't know that his sister and brother-in-law and his old buddy Brian had the same idea. He certainly perked up when he saw Karen, and she was great, fussing 'round like Mother Hen. :>)
He was a lot chirpier than I thought he'd be, naturally a bit p****d off from lying in bed all day but that may not for much longer, he said that "they" were going to try to get him out of bed today, Wednesday. So, who knows?
I'll have to visit him again, he's got some Turkish Delight that requires attention.

My sincere thanks to you magnificent mudcatters for all your good wishes and words of comfort during my hospitalisation. As you probably know from Madam Gashee, that the operation went well and it appears that no further treatment is needed in the short term but monitoring will be essential for at least five years. I am feeling better each day and eating well. By Christmas I shall be back with "The Baggies" and we'll be on the road again in 2002.

Thanks Mr Red for your suggestion of a Bowelsprit Shanty. I shall put it at the BOTTOM of my song list!!

By the way The Baggies suitably costumed are singing carols in Swansea's Christmas market this week. I hope that they are not "hampering" the shoppers!! They came to the hospital to sing carols last Sunday and they discharged me on Tuesday. I wonder if there was a connection there?

Only joking guys!!

The Season's Greetings to all Mudcatters.

Thanks again for kind thoughts.

Dave.
