Hello, Anyone heard fro Greystoke lately? My emails to him are being ignored (or eaten by his spam filter, it is hard to tell the difference nowadays).
Hi Tyrone, I understand he's not been too well lately. I will try give him a visit in the next week and tell him you are looking to get in touch.
Hi Jedigenie, If he is too ill to use a computer then he must be VERY ill. Please convey may regards and best wishes for his speedy return to health!
Hi Tyrone, I bumped into his wife in spar during the week. She told me he is in hospital. He had a mild stroke. But she said he was doing okay and recovering well.
Hi Bentron, Thanks for the update. I got an email from him today so it seems he is back in business. Kind regards
I'm out of hospital. No evidence of stroke damage. Apparently I suffered from mineral deficiencies. I seem to care more for my plants than for myself . Anyway, I feel a lot better now and glad to be back.
Always have salt with your salad*. Salad greens are the best source of magnesium and without Na from salt to balance the K you are just asking for trouble...
I will send you some of my plant hardening mix, full of wonderful minerals! Hope you get better soon Cor, look after yourself. Kind regards, Dirk
My father passed away a few days ago, 20 November. Aged 62. Thromboembolism of the left lung. Basically a blood clot. He felt pain on Monday, said nothing to us (he worked as an ex-pat in Zambia). On Wednesday morning he came late to breakfast and he told the one kitchen staff he had serious chest pains like a feeling of fire, and didn't sleep well. Wednesday he Skyped with my mom and sister and seemed happy and still said nothing to them. Wednesday he went to bed, he must have gotten up at midnight, and wrote us a note stating the time was 00:15. He said he felt like he was having a heartattack. He said he was sorry, and that he had regretted not retiring in the beginning of the year. He wrote an A5 page, then said PTO and turned the page, but he got up, left the next page blank and moved 1 metre to the couch from the dining room table and sat down passed away alone. It has been the saddest, most terrible time for me, ever. I'm only telling you because I urge you to please look after yourself. Because the pain of those left behind is beyond any words. He would have retired in March next year, and would have been married 40 happy years with my mom on 14 December. Please take care of yourself.
