G'day all.

    I am now up and about and getting well after the accident, although
    Jean, my wife is still in hospital with four pins in her leg which
    was broken in two places, and we both suffered severe seat belt
    trauma - otherwise I wouldn't be writing this! Suffice it to say
    that we had to be cut out of the car. I have no recollection
    whatever about what happened. I remember sailing gently along a
    quiet road with no traffic, on a Sunday afternoon drive and the next
    I remember was being hauled out of the (now roofless) car by nice
    gentlemen in red and yellow pinnies!  Thanks to the belts there was
    nothing life-threatening, but we are both covered in painful
    bruises, had concussion, and I have a broken ankle.  Our Government
    Accident Compensation people swung into action before I left
    hospital - they came to me -  and have given me sufficient home help
    support. 

    So all is going well, but I really want to thank all of you for the
    kind wishes you sent; I wasn't going to say anything! I feel both
    humbled and flattered by all the kind words I received and am
    grateful to this wonderful and happy community, with special thanks
    to Hanuman. Can't be rid of me that easy; I'm a survivor! 

Cheers for now,
JohnB of Mapua, Nelson NZ
