expletive remove Alf i thought i was bad Ive had 5 operations in the last year in for scan tomorrow and hopefully that will be the end of it for me feeling much better now and getting in among the birds again that was the hardest part for me not being allowed in the loft for 10 months for fear of infection, I was in 3 weeks ago for a week bad timing on my part as all the birds were on eggs when i came out they had lifted off them as i have said before if it were not for bad luck just now i would have no luck but i think back to last year were they gave me little chance so i have all the luck in the world GOOD HEALTH TO ALL
