Don't know if it 's been mentioned that Ted Welch (4.00 / 15)

has been having health problems which is the reason we haven't seen him around in a while. He had an operation about a month ago and has been slow recovering.
I don't know if he'd agree to this but I thought It would be nice if anyone who felt like it would send their "best wishes."

So here's mine- Get well Ted!

Hey, Grandma Moses started late!

Re: Ted Welch (4.00 / 4)

Psst! Who's Ted? Other than an unwell person.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

He's a guy who writes a lot of interesting diaries for ET when he's well.

We exchanged emails so I knew Ted had health problems, but:

Best wishes, Ted, get really well and soon!

Ted Welch (4.00 / 3)

I missed his voice around here! Sad to hear it's health. Get well quick!

By the way, what's up with techno, far easterner, stormy present, poemless, izzy, et al? Not that class attendance is obligatory... It's just kinda nice to catch a bleep now 'n again.

Re: Ted Welch (4.00 / 3)

Far Easterner and poemless had serious disputes on ET and, for the moment have left, izzy will be in Paris this weekend so she's still with us, stormy present is here once in a while, techno?. I miss very much margouillat who just disappeared-I emailed him without response. Maybe Migeru knows knows something about RG-he's been absent a long time.

Re: Ted Welch (none / 1)

margouillat has vanished before and then returned - guess has to do with is work. But I am starting to worry about rg too!

Re: Ted Welch (4.00 / 3)

Maracatu and I met with rg before the summer.

I think he may be recouping his strength after the Journey into Sound tour de force.

Re: Ted Welch (4.00 / 2)

Migeru... any reaction to the Lib Dem conference?

The ditching of the support for the euro?

The new commitment to shrink the state?

I haven't been paying attention, sorry.

Re: Don't know if it 's been mentioned that Ted W (4.00 / 5)

Thanks for all the good wishes - and especially to Len (who's been very supportive by email)- I'm almost in tears.

I'm so sad I can't attend the Paris meetup - I really enjoyed meeting people last time - and sad that I can't participate here, though I look in briefly, and wistfully, from time to time.

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.

I'm sorry you can't be with us in Paris, Ted. I wish you to recover soon. And I hope we will see you again before long.
