Update to Just Scrolling along dated 9th April 2023 (Easter Sunday.) I continued with my purchases and bought a Bandsaw, a Dremel Multi-tool with a flexible drive that can be used for drilling (up to 4mm) also various small sanding jobs. It's has variable speed foot control. I then invested In a 6" disc & 4" belt combined sander. Two workshop 50ltr vacuum units. One has automatic on and off. When the sander is switched on the vacuum auto starts and switches off 5 seconds after the sander is stopped. I've also a 20ltr portable vacuum that I use when using my pillar drill (press drill.). Handy for cleaning work surfaces, too. This set up allows me to work, stop or just rest as required with my disability. I'm finding this inspiring, exciting, relaxing, tiring, and great fun. When I've completed the current home shed projects I'll post a few photos here on the NMMS web site. I continue to be inspired by what other chaps have produced. Also, the books I've purchased will keep me happy for much time to come.

If I’m better by then I’ll be there. That is a big IF. I won’t be there this Friday as I’m avoiding contact to enable the op on 17th. cheers, Terry

Before covid, Arthur & Cliff Cumming & I used to enjoy a Sunday roast lunch together at Fawcett's Club or a local pub. Fawcett's have not started the lunches again. I'm sure us three will get back together again soon. Besides Diabetes type1 which I've had for 62 years and 21 years chronic coronary heart disease & for18 years a rare type of arthritis called Cheiroarthropathy. It's nerves growing in my joints, also in my muscles. No disfigurement but so, so painful. The use of my hands has deteriorated as has my hips, knees, back & shoulders. There is no treatment! So, when people help me I'm VERY grateful. Quality of life is improved immensely. Cheers, Terry
