Now in the old days we would send people off to the seaside for convalesence to help them recover. As you have four weeks to spare, can you not have a pre-convalesence break away somewhere? You could lie on a beach somewhere (no strain to the knee there) and you could even have a think about what you are going to put in 'da book part two' We can forgive you being grumpy though, your army of readers out here are very used to all your changing moods and love ya anyway :-)
