I have been absent for too long.

[Hookie]

I have been absent from FOG for too long. It is/was an enforced absence, owing to my wife becoming rather ill.  Caring for her now means I am having to give up serious woodworking. All I am doing at present is making little artefacts that might make the Missus's life a little easier; you know, lap tables, bed-tables, and magazine racks she can reach without a struggle. 

Unfortunately she has contracted Parkinsons, and it's not pleasant at all.  Muddling through mind, and still as keen as ever to spend time with my Festool collection. If I missed a post, or failed to reply to a message, then I do apologise.
I am still around, getting most of my woodworking second-hand from YouTube, and other such sites. !

Cheers everyone.

That's sad buddy. Give her my love ...

Just had a recent scare with my better half - it certainly puts your life into perspective!

Kev.

All the best for you sir. This is when your true skills will shine. Best wishes to your wife.
