Hi Folks
Its a month gone by since the last blog entry
The,Tadpoles have turned into frogs and we have had dragonflies in the garden during the last couple of weeks .

The weather has turned nice but the last month saw my life turned upside down

The trike was starting to come together and I had a holiday to look forward to all great until 6 days before we were about to go ,Saturday night about midnight I was admitted to hospital with tummy pains and it was diagnosed after xrays and a ct scan ( as I thought ) to be a bad diverticulitis flare up .I was released from hospital 2 weeks ago and told to take it easy for the next 3 weeks , given a large bag of painkillers to eat like sweets and left to get on with life,
Last Monday was the first day I started to feel a little better and had a little time that we spent on the trike , At least it has started to look like a trike now , With only a few more hours of welding to complete the handlebars , Mid pulley mount and return chain tube it will be ready for the trial fit of everything and the test ride before it is stripped and sprayed .
Here is the latest photo , with the electric mountain bike project in the background and now I am going back to bed to rest a while.

regards all
