Not so much a happy thought, but a happy feeling. The numbness of the painkillers is quite nice ;)

They are not coming and as a result (as this was a pre-screening session) my DAFNE course has also been cancelled. Although I can have another one In August apparently :(

Same goes for me Maggy. We already make sure that two friends get to hospital for their appointments as their pre-arranged lifts never seemed to materialized. One more added to our "taxi service" wouldn't be a problem if only we lived near enough to be of help. :(

Cheers, not to worry. I'm off to put my Tripods dvd's on and cheer up :)

although it must be said if they don't turn up tomorrow (for something else) - I'll probably get really angry.

Since Tuesday my life has been mostly good news, makes a nice change!

It's been one of those weeks where things just seem to slot into place for my love, professional, personal and financial lives and makes me smile. :)

Apologies for the slight gushiness of it all but for a natural pessimist I'm happy and actually thinking this might last and not come all crashing to a halt!

Thanks defirish. There is still a chance I may need the wig so don't stop collecting the hair yet. I have been looking around for a role model in case the worse happens and think I have found the ideal one.

:) it's for my latest guitar build project which also involves a big, old slab of elm I've procured (which is apparently not too easy to work with).

Ah, I had visions of a DIY transplant. :D

John does a lot of wood carving and informs me that Elm, when kiln dried is about as easy to carve as a lump of concrete and that dealing with its uneven grain and tendency to split is a pain but it ends up with a very intricate grain pattern and is well worth the effort.

He also hopes that the Elm you procured has been well dried because when green it stinks like an outside privvy as you try to work on it. :D

That sounds like a major project. I'll be thinking of Yew.:o:

Thanks Jo, it's been lying around in a workshop for several years so it is well dried out. The grain is split at the ends but it's a pretty big slab so there should be more than enough useful wood for one or maybe two bodies. It must have been a piece of furniture at some point, looks like it may have been some kind of worktop or bench. It is a nice grain as your John says so definitely a contender for natural finish :)

@LR: the dining room furniture here is Yew, don't give me any ideas ;)
