Called in on Bob Jones the other day at Clifton hospital. Bob is looking pretty good and has moved out of his home on the farm into a more secure situation as a permanent resident in Clifton Hospital’s care section. Bob has been having a bit of a problem staying upright of late but now at least has free range of the hospital with the aid of a wheelie walker.

He appeared to be in good spirits and enjoyed the company. If anyone is travelling between Warwick and Toowoomba, Clifton is only a 10 minute detour!

I spoke to Wally Edwards on the phone earlier on and he sounds to be pretty good despite the fact that his mobility is severely restricted because of his Parkinsons. Wally and Sandra are still living at Mount Morgan in Qld.

We all know Lorna Campbell, Sandra’s mum; well you may be interested to know that on the 28th of February this year she will be celebrating her 102nd birthday. All the best Lorna from us all.

Blue Hickey is doing all right for the shape he is in, using bottled oxygen to keep himself agile and about, and by all reports is putting up one hell of a fight against ther cancer that threatened him 6 or 7 years ago.

Bloo Dennis has found his way out of hospital down in Sydney and driven himself and the dog back up to Jandowae, home at last. So much for the pinched nerve that the Coffs Harbour hospital gave him a sedative and nexk brace to cure.

Cliff Hodgson is still alive, has the flu, fell over yesterday and grazed his arm, blood everywhere but still here and awaiting a car to take him in for a cat scan. Apart from all that he is relatively good and wondering what tomorrow will bring. Shirley also has the flu as well as her asthma.

I am still here, and health wise good.
