• oh pal I'm so sorry! I know there really isn't much I can say to try put a positive spin on something like this :(
    But for what it's worth, you have built what I'd argue is one of the nicest homes I've ever seen! What is the recovery time scale looking like?

    I don't know what your back ground is, but while you're at home and less mobile, maybe buy a nice set of chisels and a Japanese saw and do a little of bit of light woodworking and make some bits for around the house! I appreciate that maybe sounds like a bit of a wanky suggestion but it's something I done and found hugely rewarding when I was house bound after an accident years ago.
    Really hope you heal up well :)

    edit - oh shit! just realised that the femur break must have happened sometime after your last post 13 hours ago?! Fuck!

  • Haha, funny you should say that, a breakdown in the relationship has meant that I’m in a wee flat in Kirkwall for now.. I hadn’t been happy in a while but hadn’t ever communicated that and just ran with the house build and work as distraction/ way to ignore it, and I just let that continue for too long without any conversation until it got past being able to rescue it.. haha, that would have been a great idea though! Tempted to see if I can get my banjo and maybe spend evenings practicing that again..

    @Nef cheers bud! Yeah it was just yesterday morning the break, all the main roads were salted, turned onto a road that just looked wet (but wasn’t) and the bike disappeared from under me.. I’ve split it right across at the hip joint and chipped another bit off too.. helicoptered to Aberdeen and just waiting for surgery to pin and screw it all back together tomorrow..

    Let’s see what other challenges 2023 throws! :)
