    There is only one problem with getting better,I find, is that the hospital gets more like a gaol! Sadly I am sentenced to at least another month behind bars! Don't worry I am not being ungrateful to the wonderful people here and I will be forever grateful for what they have done and how they have treated my family, but there really does come a time when it is time to leave. Sadly it is not to be and it is sooooo boring! I fear that I will be causing mischief before long. Still, the alternative does not appeal! Now! Do you think THEY will let me try to catch the carp in the hospital pond? I am sure I could take a few potshots at the pigeons sitting on the roof opposite,do you think? There are some really pretty nurses here, perhaps a party? Ho hum! I could try to dig a tunnel,I suppose. Leaping over a wooden horse could be a bit tricky though, in my present state. I wonder if I could escape dressed as a guard? Hummm food for thought!

    Note to self: must order the "Great Escape","The Wooden Horse", "Escape from Stalag Luft 17" from the library.

    Jock,

    I am glad to see you posting again. Try to relax and let your body heal.

    By the way, you should instruct your grounds people to remove all the rocks from your estate.

    It might be prudent to stay away from "leaping" and "tunneling" for now, and certainly don't entertain any "tying bedsheets together and going out the window" ideas. Disguise and guile would be less stressful options... but perhaps best of all is staying put and enjoying the pretty nurses and a good book or three until your jailers set you free.

    Perhaps you could build a glider and fly off the roof. Though I do like your idea of shooting pigeons.

    My last hospital stay was only for a week but it felt much longer and I'm sure that they only allowed me to leave because I was quickly becoming a royal pain.

    It's great to see you back, sir! I have a few suggestions for the mischief, but should probably keep them to myself and encourage you to continue getting better instead.
