So Monkey Snr is all better. Pumped full of drugs and zapped with electro-therapy and he's back up and running. Good as new, new paint job from his 2 days in the sun, a good wax to get rid of the sticky glue from the sensor pads and even new treads in the form of loafers. There's life in the old banger yet.

Must say, he looked much better post hospital and the nurses were all very nice. His Dr (a pretty young lady) even gave him a kiss and a hug when he signed out and produced a box of brownies. That really made his day!
