Hi @Margaret63 and @noddan - et al reporting on @NoBoDe: I just had a brief conversation with him. He is attached to equipment which helps him breathe and all other kinds of equipment to stay alive, generally; but he is complaining as usual I was treated to heavy breathing of a different sort (haha) and a still witty likening of his position to the Peleponnesian Wars as described in the Iliad. I have yet to find out which hero he is sees himself as . . . but I guess, seeing his very many weaknesses, it would have to be 'Achilles' or Achilleus, who was headstrong and flew into blistering rages, when he felt that his honour was at risk of being slighted - shall keep that for this afternoon's conversation.
But, generally, I am glad he is alive and in a hospital. Happy Australia Day Taurisk
