been rather busy last two days. my father is in hospital. had by pass surgery on his leg. it went very well and he's recovering nicely. since he's 74, the doctors made him run ton of tests before doing the surgery and it seems everything was good. as with any hospital visit, it's very tiring, both for the patient and people waiting to make sure everything is ok.. so i'll take some sauce tonight x) 

Glad to hear your father is doing well, Pete.  Here's to a fast recovery!

It's wonderful that he's in good enough shape to go through something like that. I'm really glad he's okay!

Hope your father recovers quickly. And you too, Pete.

Promise him a fig plant when he gets out!

Hope your father will recover soon.
