Reece after the op
I loaded him into the car and off we went to the medical centre for x rays. He was lucky (we thought) he’d damaged some ligaments and would need a few days rest. A bit of extra work for me in the bar… no drama’s…he was OK, he was reading a book about as thick as the old and new testament put together and a hard drive full of movies. A few torn ligaments weren’t going to keep him off the mountain for long though and he was back up there before he should. Another jump another fall and this time it really was fucked. Number 2 shipped of to Albury for an operation. That meant a bit more work around the place for everyone else, no matter though, we were all becoming one big happy family and everyone was pleased to do it.
When I met Brian at the b-b-que, he had come with a friend of my partner Susy and I, Gabby who he was seeing at the time. She was arriving for three weeks skiing, accompanied by my missus. Susy and I had recently separated after 30 years together and hadn’t seen each other for awhile so I was looking forward to seeing her again. Reece being the gentleman that he was had insisted he would move in with the girls next door (2 beautiful young ladies), a real hardship for him! so she could stay in our room …What a man…as it happened this was unnecessary as Janette the owner had arrived from Perth by now with Margie the Nannie and the kids, she insisted he stay in the flat upstairs to recover, after coming out of hospital.
I am….THE LONESOME TRAVELLER….travelling east….BE HAPPY!
