I’ve just learned that Charlie has been involved in a very nasty road accident whilst driving her car on a highway in Crete. A flat bed lorry ran into the back of her sending her car spinning into a very recently erected crash barrier. She is lucky to be alive by all accounts. She sustained a head injury and lost a lot of blood. The driver of the lorry is a suspected drink/driver!
I wish you a complete and speedy recovery Charlie. I know you are not allowed to use the PC but hope you can look into SPI now and then. xx

Hi everyone
I am very touched by all your comments and thank you so much.
I feel I’m doing very well now and each day improving. A brain scan showed no internal bleeding/damage so am very lucky.
…. though I did put the sugar in the fridge this morning after making my first cup of tea 😕I have never been involved in a motoring accident in 43 years of driving, but this incident has reminded me how fragile life is.
I had a Guardian Angel sitting on my shoulder last Saturday, may you all be blessed with the same.Doctors have forbidden me to read, look at tv and use computer (part of the deal to be home) but will be ‘just looking’ now and then.
Again, thank you for your kind thoughts.
Charlie
xWarning: don’t ever go to A&E for a haircut, they use razor blades and you come out looking totally cr*p.

My best wishes to you also Charlie, hope you are up and about with a new hairdo soon!
A really nasty experience car accidents, on the subject of which since August began, I have been looking out of an office window at the N340 at all hours of the day, and the number of times traffic has come to a standstill and I have witnessed police cars and ambulances wail their way through toward yet another accident is unbelievable really.
I am actually scared to drive on that road in August, and I only have a couple of kilometres to go!
Since it became a four lane highway, it was supposed to lose its moniker of being Hell Highway in Europe but… I think we all have to be very careful in hot countries when driving, the Middle East was bonkers as well.

Charlie hope you get well soon, laughter is the best medicine they say
This is a true story!!
For all who work with rude customers, shame WE can’t actually do this! An award should go to the Virgin Airlines desk attendant in Sydney a few weeks ago for being smart and funny, while making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo.
A crowded Virgin flight was cancelled after Virgin’s 767s had been withdrawn from service for a maintenance check A single attendant was rebooking a long line of inconvenienced travellers. Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said, ‘I HAVE to be on this flight and it HAS to be FIRST CLASS’.
The attendant replied, ‘I’m sorry, sir. I’ll be happy to try to help you, but I’ve got to help these people first, and I’m sure we’ll be able to work something out.’
The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, ‘DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?’
Without hesitating, the attendant smiled and grabbed her public address microphone: ‘May I have your attention please, may I have your attention please,’ she began – her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. ‘We have a passenger here at Desk 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to Desk 14.’
With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the Virgin attendant, gritted his teeth and said, ‘F… You!’
Without flinching, she smiled and said, (I love this bit) ‘I’m sorry, sir, but you’ll have to get in line for that too.’
Just sensational!! -

I don’t know what to say to all of you – other than every one of your comments and wishes have really cheered me up.
Yes, my headaches and fuzzy vision have returned which is disappointing so may have to have another brain scan (don’t think they could find it last time). At least my stitches are now out so I can watch the shaved bits grow without the hinderance of plastic washing-line.
Nice one Jim, really made me smile. Reminded me of when some people decided to play a prank at the airport and ask for an announcement to be given out for a missing friend like “Ivor Biggun” and “Mytit Sarbig”.
Isn’t it time you did a Frank and re-named yourself jiminwiltshire?
