I took this picture this morning on the way to the hospital to pick Tony up after his overnight stay. Yes, he has been crook again!! He is home again, with more tablets & more tests to be done.

Chris Ebben 		  Hi, thanks for that. I thought it looked pretty striking. I wanted to get another picture, but a bloke was hanging around, so I moved on. Tony is on the mend.

Chris Ebben 		  I'm pleased to show you all the statue. As for Tony, I don't know what to do with him, he seemss to be pushing himself to try & get over his accident. Maybe this scare will slow him down. #Note, I said "maybe".
