Hi everyone
Thanks so much for the good wishes and cheery comments.

It's great to be back home again. Not only has the angelic Pinkangel covered for me, she has also eaten all my chocolate and drunk all the whisky.

Still, she deserves it for doing such a great job. I will reclaim the bunny ears and cotton tail tomorrow, and say a big thank you to Pink for stepping in.

As for morphine, what weird stuff – I was convinced I was out horse riding! Goodness knows what people thought of me thrashing around in bed with a smile on my face, shouting 'faster!' 'faster!'. Still, it was good to know I provided entertainment for my fellow patients on the ward.

Events of my departure from hospital have been slightly exaggerated. Some say I climbed out of the window on a string of knotted sheets, while others swear I was smuggled out in a laundry basket. But the real truth is I went through the escape tunnel. Having been in hospital for a week, I found I had plenty of time for digging, and owing to the quality of the hospital food, I was able to line the tunnel walls with concrete mashed potato and rice pudding. The tunnel exit is in a secret location on a hillside, and I shall be visiting it again whenever I feel in need of stealing a shot of morphine (I know where they keep the key to the drugs cupboard)
You can't imagine how reassuring it is to know that my chums on the LSF will be able to perform my operation if required ....

It's lovely to be back. Thank you.
