Its the little things that matter. Barrie is in full recovery we know that because this morning his breakfast was delivered with an individual single portion marmalade which had been already opened and part used .
Barrie was not happy and he bloody told them so! they are now under no illusion that recovery is in full flow and Barrie will be dispatched home on thursday,
no doubt with a sigh of relief from the catering staff

Things are looking up as Barrie has now got a date for his next operation 10th Feb. at the London Bridge hospital, Barrie is expected to in there for about a week.
Other good news is that after over six months Barrie had his first glass of red wine. Despite earlier attemps at Christmas and the New Year when red to him tasted disgusting, today a little vin de pays from the South West of France went down quite well. Only one half glass though!
All good news.
