Thanks to all the folks who signed my 'get well' card, and to the person who arranged for my copy of the Koko CD. It was very much appreciated. I am now back at work and have just spent the last 3 hours reading the past 3 months Avalon digests !! I am now recovered as well as I am ever going to be, and will simply have to live with my dicky ticker !! My aim in life now is to see my 4 and 5 year old daughters married, or to hear a new Roxy album - whichever comes the soonest !!!
