  Post 238: Nightmares and good intentions. I’m in my medical bed and I’ve just woken in a real panic. Something’s electrocuted my right shoulder — ouch! It’s 02:00 in the morning; even the shepherds aren’t yawning....

  Post 237: From meter readings to ambling around town and all else in between. Omg! I’ve been on the forum helping a newbie settle in when my dancing fingers earned what I can only describe as a red card. My bloody thumb wandered off the dance ...
