Well hello folks, I guess you may have been wondering what has happened to me, well about six weeks ago my wife was struck by a mystery illness the marvellous medical people haven’t been able work out the problem. I won’t bore you with the details but she needs constant attention that leaves me with no time for much fun like modelling.
My daughter has been a tower of strength helping with all the hospital visits and specialist appointments, I have been lucky to have her but she has a new job down in the city so I’ll be on my Pat Malone looking after the dear wife in a week. Well just a note to let you know I’m still kicking and will try to put some more Radom’s up ASAP.

Cheers mate, I don’t think I have cooked and cleaned so much in all my life, I have learnt how to use the washing machine though 😉. It will be good for her as she is a worry wart.

We’ll be thinking of you all here! 🙂 You can give some tips about using a washing machine as I haven’t got a clue how to use the current one we’ve got!

Cheers mate, it has been a while since I used our old one, but this new thing is a nightmare, I might bugger up some of the wife’s clothes like when she shrank my only wool sweater 😅😅.

Thanks Dave, she feels bad about going but assured her after 38 years with the old girls I can certainly handle things on my own, 😅. I have to say the medical folks are trying their best and with all the well wishing from you and the gang I’m sure things will get better soon,cheers mate.

Pat I do hope your wife recovers soon and that you both come out of this in good health. In the meantime enjoy the blogs of others if possible and maybe taking a lead from that one inch guy blog – if you really have that itch to post then try recycling – just post a link of your top favourite posts from your blog archive?
