My apologies to those of you who have emailed me recently but have not received a reply. I have spent the last 3½ weeks in hospital with no internet/email access, not even via a mobile, hence the lack of response (and the lack of some actions that I would have taken on the site itself).
Having just returned home today, I am still very weak but hope that normal service will be resumed within the next few days.
Get well soon, Gaufrid!
Very best wishes Gaufrid.
Warm wishes for your recovery.
All the best for your return to health.
Sorry to hear you’ve been unwell Gaufrid. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Get well soon, Gaufrid. Don’t worry about the site, crosswords are not as important as your health.
Very sorry to hear about this, Gaufrid, but good that you are back home now. Best wishes for your recovery.
Take your time! Good luck for your recovery.
Really no need to apologise!
Glad that you’re back and recovering. Take care now – and don’t do too much too soon.
Wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery. And as others have said, don’t worry about the site. Your health is far more important.
Sorry to hear that you’ve not been well recently, Gaufrid, but I’m glad you’re now home.
Hope you get well soon, but as others have said, please don’t feel as though you have to rush back.
Glad to hear you are back at home and wishing you a speedy and full recovery. Get well first, drink whiskey second and answer email third. 🙂
All the best for your recovery Gaufrid, and thank you for dropping in to say hello. We were concerned and glad to hear from you.
Hope you’ve got a nice sunny spot to recuperate, and as others have said, we’d rather you just take it easy.
All the best for your recovery
Gaufrid I wish you all the luck in the world for your recovery. Sometimes in life we have to put ourselves first before everything else and this is one of those times for you.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery
Welcome home, dear sir. Best wishes, Rob
Hope you feel back to full strength soon. All the best.
Glad you’re back home, take it easy and look after yourself first for a change!
All the best.
That explains why everything has been dissolving into rack and ruin of late. It’s been like living through Decline and Fall…
Seriously, “Get woollens,” reads tangled message (3,4,4)
Warmest best wishes Gaufrid
Very sorry to hear that – hope you are on the mend.
Warm wishes for a speedy recovery. Please take it easy and make sure to rest.
Adding my warm wishes to the tsunami already flowing your way, Gaufrid!

Three weeks in hospital is not nice. Glad you’re home and feeling better. Warmest wishes for a full recovery.
Welcome back.
Sorry to hear about this, Gaufrid. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Get well soon. We need you. But get well first.
Look after yourself and get well soon.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery Gaufrid.
I trust the whisky will help. I know it does me!
Good to hear you’re back home. Very best wishes and many thanks for all you do.
All best wishes to you for a speedy recovery
All possible best wishes from me as well
Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery, Gaufrid.
Wishing you all the best with your recovery.
Get well soon, Gaufrid. How about forgetting this place and solving a few (easy) crosswords as therapy? 🙂
Hope your recovery is swift and smooth.
No apologies required, your health comes first. Hope you’re fully recovered soon!
He’s back!
All the best for your recovery G.
Welcome back Gaufrid, best wishes for your recovery
You’ve been missed. Take it easy, like Sunday morning with Azed and a cuppa.
Hope all well soon.
Welcome back, Gaufrid, and best wishes for your recovery.
Best wishes from me too
As one of the many people who appreciate your efforts, I say “no need to apologise”. Put all your energy into getting better. The fact that the site will survive this brief bit of inattention is a testament to your hard work in setting it up properly in the first place.
Best wishes for your continuing recovery. Take it gently.
Warm wishes and thanks. Hope the messages help you feel better!
I echo what all the above have said!!
Very best wishes,
David
…and I echo SPanza. Very glad to hear that you’re out of hospital. Take it nice and easy.
Be kind to yourself. Take it easy, and I wish you a strong recovery.
Look after yourself, Gaufrid
Get well soon Gaufrid: here’s to a speedy and full recovery.
Just to add my best wishes for your full recovery, and to echo those who have suggested that you concentrate on your own health well before worrying about anything you think needs your attention here – please look after yourself first and foremost!
Welcome back and best wishes for a speedy recovery.
All the very best from me, too.
Mike
Get well soon!
Three and a half weeks in this day and age is very concerning.
I really hope that you make a speedy recovery from here dear sir.
My very best wishes to you and your family in these difficult times.
Also sending warmest wishes for a speedy recovery.
Count me in with those exhorting you
to concentrate whole heartedly on your recovery Gaufrid but great to hear you are out and on the mend.
Good to see you back, Gaufrid
So glad you are out of hospital, very dangerous places. With all good wishes for a strong recovery.
I agree with all the above, best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Gaufrid, I concur with Hoskins@12 – health first, then whisky, and after that you can think about doing stuff. Take care, and have a speedy recovery.
Isn’t exotic the opposite of domestic? Meaning not native to a certain place? I used to laugh when I read travel blogs (mostly by Brits) about how many exotic birds are native to Australia.
Gaufrid, do please take care, and I wish you all the best for a speedy recovery.
Hi Gaufrid, and welcome back. I was really sorry to hear you were unwell, and most relieved that you are on the mend.
Also, I didn’t want to add to your email deluge so am very glad of this post as somewhere for us all to send you our messages of goodwill. (I mistyped that first as “goodwell” – not exactly inaccurate either!)
I echo others’ messages for you to take it easy and prioritise your health, and wish you a full and swift recovery.
Very sorry to hear that you have been unwell. As do so many others, I wish you a complete recovery. Do take your time.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Take it easy
Perhaps ia good thing you were disconnected. Everything else can wait. Get well.
I add my good wishes for a speedy recovery.
Warmest wishes from Australia for a rapid recovery from your spell in hospital, Gaufrid. Rest up and go gently. We are enormously grateful to you for your dedication to this site.
It’s so touching that you take the time and trouble to write an explanation. Although you are missed you can see that everyone prioritises your health and well being. Get better soon.
Warmest wishes for a full and speedy recovery. We all hugely value what you do for us on this site, but don’t often say it. Take good care of yourself.
74thed. Best wishes for a speedy recovery
Get well soon Gaufrid – hoping you can feel the love!
Glad that you are at home to get better. Sorry to hear you’ve had such a long stint in hospital. Get well soon, Gaufrid.
Very sorry to hear you’ve been through that, and sending warm wishes for your healing!
Best wishes, Geoff
Hi Geoff … only spotted this today, all of the best and hope things have got better in the few weeks since.
Best wishes … Bruce
