So glad you have updated us as I was going to ask how he is. Thats great news & hope Gills can pull off another win for him soon to help with his progress.
I hate watching the news these days when they insist on telling us how many people died today from covid. Their peoples loved one's and it sometimes feels a bit insensitive to me. I realise its news and maybe people would accuse them of hiding the facts if they didn't announce it, but I'm also aware that covid is a sensitive subject for me. I dont know how old Gimmer is but I guess from what you say, that he's maybe getting on a bit, so he must have a bit of Gills spirit in him.
My wife is only 45 but covid put her in intensive care on a ventilator for 5 weeks.
We wer'e lucky though as after 7weeks she came out of hospital, those 5 weeks wer'e the hardest of my life, made all the worse by not even being allowed to see her. And do you know the first thing she asked a nurse when she could finally speak? She asked if she knew how the cat was.
Still I spose had it been me my first words would probably had beed ''have Gills won a game yet.'' Very best wishes to you and of course Gimmer.
