I'm still in protective custody...

.... but this doesn't look too difficult for a determined person to escape.

I am gently easing myself back into blipping but will probably be restricting myself to pictures local to home.

Thanks for your good wishes last week. I'm told that the keyhole operation to remove my prostate gland went according to plan and I feel surprisingly well, though I have been warned to take things very gently and know, from the odd experience so far, that it is easy to run out of steam.
