Hi Rad,
Just to bring you up to date, being how i haven't spoke for so long.
Im sorry to here about your partners mum, that must of been a very hard time for you all, i hope your family member with cancer has had a good
prognosis and is doing well.
I have had a pretty ruff time recently with my mum. She took ill 3 weeks ago, had a stroke and was taken into hospital for treatment. After 3 days in there she had another small stroke which altered her personality completely, after this she just went down hill. Mum past away during the early hours of yesterday morning peacefully age 87. Im staying in her bungalow at the moment with the monumental task of sorting out her affairs.
Although this is a very sad time, i am still positive about the future.
Still doing the furniture restoration, but i do think i will be going back into engineering to earn a proper wage again.
Anyway, i will say goodbye for now, and hope you will give me an update, hopefully we will have better news to talk about soon.
All the best wishes, and sending love, your old mate Otterman.
