[Andrew K]

My prints are done...just need to get to the Psot Office....

They should arrive by the end of the week...sorry for the delay!

 

[hoffy]

Psot office?

Thanks Andrew

 

[hoffy]

OK, I have had contact from everyone who is outstanding (actually, you are all outstanding!). Since they are on the way, I'll obviously wait until everything arrives!

TheToadMen, Sorry - I missed your edit. Yes, only send 9 if you haven't sent already.

Cheers

I'm starting to get excited.

Hi Guys,

Just a quick update. I am still waiting on the last package (they did get sent didn't they ToadMen?). I'll let you know as soon as they arrive!

Cheers

Hi Folks,

Time for a quick update. OK, first things first, where are we at with this exchange.

There is still one printer outstanding. I have contacted TheToadMen to see what has happened. Unfortunately, he has informed me that he has had a few family concerns over the last few weeks. Unfortunately a three weeks ago his father was admitted to hospital with Heart failure and Lung issues, so his mind has been elsewhere. He has, though, offered to send through the prints express to Australia. If people are happy to wait just a little longer, he will organise it.

OK, as the sign up for the next round is nearly on us, I thought I would make a quick comment. I would still like to stick to having the signup cutoff set to the end of October and stick the schedule. I won't, though, open signup until we have pretty much finalised this round. This might mean that signup is only open for 2 or so weeks, which I think we can handle.

Cheers
Ashley

No worries

No worries here!

My middle name is Clinton, but I can wait

 

[TheToadMen]

Thank you all for your patience and kindness. The prints are ready now, so off to find a decent wrapping to send it safely across some continents, oceans, wildfires an erupting volcanos ...

BTW: my father isn't out of the woods (i.e. hospital) yet, but he seems a bit better since Monday. His hart works for 20% but he can breath normally again and isn't totally, immensely exhausted anymore. I hope they've found the right combination of pacemaker settings and medicines to keep his hart at a steady and durable balance, without his lungs, liver and kidneys protesting anymore. Last week it looked like he might not make it at all, but there is still good hope, believe and faith.

He's turning 75 on November 7th and we plan to celebrate this with the whole family. I hope he'll be up to it by then. Otherwise we'll throw a small surprise party at the hospital.

Any news?

 

[hoffy]

Chasing it up.......

 

[TheToadMen]

A bit delayed again, but it's in the mail to Hoffy.
I've been at my parents, cleaning up in and around the house, between visiting my father in the hospital.
Today we'll have a talk with the doctors about his options, but it doesn't look great.
So if you can say a prayer ...
Thanks,
Bert from Holland

 

[munz6869]

Best wishes to your dad, Bert!!

Marc!

 

[TheToadMen]

My father's hart is down to only 10%. He'll transfer to another hospital this week to see if he qualifies for an mechanical hart pump (to take over the function of his hart). If so, he'll undergo open heart surgery. If not, he'll be out of options and time soon. So please say a prayer for him.

About my photos, those were shipped from Holland on October 16th. Is was promised the parcel would arrive in about 9 days. But the Track&Trace only showed today it arrived in Australia yesterday. So I hope they'll arrive soon at Hoffy's ???

 

[hoffy]

Hey Bert,

I am really sorry to hear about your father. He is in my thoughts.

As for the prints, I was home all day today and they didn't arrive. Hopefully before the weekend.

 

[hoffy]

Good news everybody......

I have just returned from the post office with the last parcel in hand. I will collate the images tonight or tomorrow. I hope to get the pre-paid Aussie ones in the post over the weekend and the Internationals into the post on Monday.

Cheers

 

[walbergb]

Good things come to those that wait...the wait is over (time in transit notwithstanding)

 

[hoffy]

Hey folks,

Time to fess up - I said I would get the prints in the post ASAP, but there is a slight problem - they are all sitting on my desk at home. Sniff, blubber - I have a head cold, it was my wifes birthday today, I am starting to suffer from middle age (or any other excuse I can conjure up at the moment).

I promise that they will make it in the post tomorrow.

(I'm just heading down to the car park at work now to give myself a stern talking to and if I don't listen, maybe an uppercut.....)

 

[TheToadMen]

I promise that they will make it in the post tomorrow.

We'll just watch some hot rods in the mean time ....
And thank you for hosting this fine exchange.
Bert from Holland

 

[hoffy]

OK, Folks, the prints have been sent.

Bob ad Bert, I'll send you details when I can find the receipt.

Cheers

 

[munz6869]

Received my parcel o' prints yesterday - there are some very interesting ones and some beautifully crafted ones! What a treat. Thanks for organising/steering Hoffy!!

Marc!

 

[hoffy]

Great! Glad to see that they are making their destinations.

While we wait for others to get their packets and start making comments, do we want to go to round 13? If so (& considering we are going into silly season), what time frames are people interested in? Do we go November, December, January, or do we hold off?

cheers
