Goodly moaning, my friends. I greet you well.

Apologies for my absence. To be brief (as I must be, with Her Indoors hovering behind me, insisting I lie down), I had a pneumothorax, or collapsed lung, and was somewhat precipitously reacquainted with the world of hospitals and attractive but fierce nurses.

They're tying it up to the high numbers of chest infections I've been getting, and in turn to the partial removal of one lung where cancers were found back in October.

After a few days prone on a hospital bed, attached to an electric "drain", I was released last night.

As always, Her Indoors is taking instructions for my care and recovery a little more literally than I would, but, hey-ho, I'd rather be at home being told what I can't do than in hospital doing nothing at all.

I'd forgotten until just now that I 'd just completed the masterpiece below when my breath went, so you may as well see it.

It's already 21C outside, the warmest day of the year so far, with just two days left ...
