Ten Days Later…


Monday 6 June 2022, 22:26 - Over 8 hours of surgery and off my tits on Morphine - I don't really remember taking this photo! Five more days in hospital before released home to continue my recovery...


Thursday 16 June 2022, 05:31 - Currently taking 28 pills, plus 8 potions a day, very difficult to speak or eat, and f**k I move slowly! But back on the riverbank (briefly) - going the right direction...


Fishing - An early start and I managed 4 hours on the riverbank - landing 10 small barbel and two small carp - all on floating crust. A fantastic morning - before heading back to the hospital...

  4. Can't keep a good guy down, impressive stuff Brian. By the way, is your hair growth full moon related?

    1. Was wondering if I could make it opening morning - and things seemed to line up. Thankfully the little carp and barbel wanted to play (the chub were strangely absent). Owooooo!

  6. Fucking hell, that's some achievement Brian. Fair play to you for actually making it out on the bank, and catching. Best of luck with the recovery and will hopefully see you on the bank at some time.

    1. Cheers James, I knew that if there was any possible way to be on the riverbank for opening day I’d be there - but 10 days was cutting it close! Glad I made it though. See you on the riverbank..!

    1. Thanks Darren. That’s battle one in the bag! And just great to make it onto the riverbank on the opening day - the fish really were just a bonus!
