If it had been the left foot, I might'a tried to persevere, and still drive. 
I hope everyone has a great time. Bend an elbow to BB for me.

Re: Gunna have'ta cancel on the Bash

Sorry to hear about your "downfall" Barry. I hope that your surgery goes well and you are quickly back on the road (the road to recovery too). Those ladders are dangerous for us old timers. I used to scramble up and down them daily working on aircraft. Now I slowly make my way up and down.

Ugh.  That's an electric bummer but it's good that you weren't hurt worse. 

Best wishes for a full, uncomplicated and not-too-painful recovery.

Oh man!!! Very sorry to hear that mate. 😔

Take it easy, rest up and all the best with a speedy recovery.

Looks like it's just me heading up the Aussie contingency this year.
