Eternal Idol

The Greatest Story Never Told

Invictus

December 23, 2009 - 6:14 pm

This brief post is simply intended as a courtesy note to everyone who has written in to me recently, either via Eternal Idol or else privately. I’ve been ‘out of sorts’ for the last week, but over the last 3 days, it’s fair to say I’ve been severely ill, and it was a very painful, humiliating and frightening experience.

There are countless millions of people in Britain and around the world who are far, far worse off than myself, of course, so I’m certainly not complaining and I regard myself as extremely fortunate that I live in a country with such brilliant health care professionals and resources. I’ve had little sleep for days and I feel as if I’ve gone 36 rounds with Mohammed Ali in his prime, but I’m finally on the mend, I think, so I’ll reply and post as & when I’m able.

“Out of the night that covers me…”

We’re very sorry to hear this Dennis, and glad that it seems the worst is over now. I guess someone of your obvious stamina could cope with quite a lot – especially if you mention the word ‘frightening’- so can imagine you’ve been through hell.

Rest up, forget about us, and just concentrate on getting better, so you can enjoy Christmas with the family, and all those ‘Jack Daniels’!

PS: (Mohammed Ali is a pussycat…honest! Met and kissed at booksigning in London, ’93.)

Pleased you are on the mend and thanks for all your work. Happy Christmas to you and of course to everyone who has contributed to this site and made it so illuminating.

John.
