Challenger-Deep...the world's deepest abyss!

I want to send my sincerest congratulions to Mr. James Cameron; Hollywood-Director; and now...Explorer-Extraordinaire!

For in the last 24-hours, during the most dangerous and daring journey - he participated in a solo-trip-to-the-bottom-of-the-sea...That's right, Mr Cameron is now only the 3rd-human-being to travel to 'Challenger-Deep'; the Marianas-Trench. Over 11-kilometers down...an unbelievable and courageous feat of endurance.

This trip was made possible by an equally courageous little-submersible, constructed in Australia over the past seven years by a few dedicated specialists...well done to you all!

Hello friends! It's been about twelve-(12) days since my last post, so I think I'll update you on my progress with the 'dreaded-lurgy',. I'm feeling better now than I was before I sent my previous post. This one has been a bit of a stayer (with me) this time, I was only thinking about it today - about three-(3) weeks or so! I'm past the worst of it - thank heaven's.

Today was the first time this year that I've felt 'cold' on the inside, enough to need to put on an extra layer of clothing - jumper and jeans. Just at the end of the 1st-month of Autumn.  I'm not proud of it, either! The rest of my clan is still getting around in T-shirts & shorts, though my wife 'Woodpuddle' is sitting on the lounge with her favourite-blanket...lol.

All that tells me is - that I must be an 'olde-fart' after all! So, at least we've got  the goodsense to 'stay-warm'...just may be acceptance too, I should speak for myself... Last week, I went for my latest check-up! ...It was my 2nd-appointment to the Urologist-Clinic at RBWH and I was nice and early, thanks to my wife's punctuality being what it is - brilliant. The line-up was short, it was 08:30 in the morning, so I knew there wouldn't be a problem.
