"Be sure your sins will find you out" — is that what you are saying, Santa ?!

[Stephen Lindsay]

Sorry to learn that, BHC.  For my part, a combination of advancing years, two sub-acute spinal fractures and recent open-heart surgery (replacement of aortic valve) have certainly diminished my interest in "mess[ing] around with food", but this is also accompanied by a significant loss in appetite so a single T/A curry (e.g., chicken Madras, pulao rice, saag aloo) will easily last me three days !

I just popped online to see what was going on, as I do periodically and I read about your surgery. Wishing you all the best in your ongoing recovery Phil.

Kind regards,

Stephen

Indeed, but not being religious I would have put it more prosaically ... you are what you eat.

Thank you very much, Pap.  Apart from some residual pain in my right chest and shoulder, I seem to be healing remarkably well, and at only nine weeks post-surgery seem to be able to do very much all that I could do before ...
