Interesting WRQ @Mi-Amigo 😂

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @Cleoriff 

Pleased you think this is an "interesting WRQ 😂".

I tried to find a wide variety of questions for the categories and think there are a couple of tricky ones.

I agree. Some are easy, others need a wobble of my brain. 😂

Ah sorry @Mi-Amigo ..I've been in hospital since the 1st to missed the passed quizzes.. I'll try to catchup again on this one.. but not sure how much morphine is still left behind in my system atm!

[adec]

Ok @Mi-Amigo .. PM'd you... 

[Cleoriff]

@adec 

Hope you are feeling better now 😘

[adec]

@Cleoriff thanks.. getting there.. crossing the road and then suddenly getting hit by an irratic van driver going at 30mph around the corner is not recommended!! .. Serves him right he has no windscreen... (I went thru it!) before flying over the roof and face planting on the tarmac.. with a fractured hip, fractured clavaca, 6 broken ribs, damaged pelvis.. and needing a skin graft to my forehead.. kinda amazed I got out in a week.. the bones still all need to heal.. but nothing the Hospital could do but wait.. so might as well do it back in this building...!

[jonsie]

wow, that sounds very nasty. Hope you keep on improving week on week

I know from my own experience some five years on from a nasty road accident with very similar injuries

It takes time I'm afraid and all you can do is try to relax and heal but it certainly won't be easy

I wish you well @adec 

[Mi-Amigo]

So sorry to hear about the accident and your injuries @adec 

Hope you recover soon.

Thank you for joining in with the quiz.
