8a. Classic
15a. Eagle

Hi Steff, I'm not too bad thanks, but have a Pre Op Assessment next month prior to repairing a couple of incisional hernias that have appeared, after repairing another one, from major surgery I had 4 years ago.

How are you and the family, getting ready for another hot summer?
