Hi Jim,you just be psychic !, was just thinkin about you guys here on the forum yesterday. Beginning to see the light at the end of the current life-tunnel (I think/hope!!). My son in law's heart episode remains a mystery however he's doin OK and has been fitted with a de-fib implant incase the same thing happens again.So touch-wood AOK on that front. My mother is currently in a respite home temporarily. I've spent the entire last couple of months re-doin her entire garden,removed a fairly large pond,demolished the old brick garage etc, have used almost all of 16tons of hardcore,6 tons of sand and about 100 paviors etc.,etc., and am still in the process of gutting out her house and having it completely re-furbed .She can't manage stairs any more so we're havin a new downstairs extension built on to her house with new bedroom and wetroom etc., for which the construction work starts next Monday and will take about another month to complete.Then hopefully my mother will be home. My own place remains as I last reported though I'm hoping that I might still get a bit done before the winter. We had a beautifull spring here but the summer was awfull. Even by Scottish standards! 
. My wife had a major heart by-pass 18 years ago and is due to have another op in the next few weeks which hopefully won't require major surgery this time but that remains to be seen. Hopefully all will go well.Me personally I'm fine, and still pipin away at weekends for a living. I did buy some small trees for the O gauge railway the other day so hopefully will get them planted shortly. The small low growing creeping plants I planted back in the spring are doin their thing nicely trackside. So hopefully I'll have some progress to report shortly. Anyway thanks for your thoughts Jim. Greatly appreciated. All the best Davy
