It's not a good position right now >>>>>

I still struggle with a vicious cold and a little fever. It was after all not the best timing but to you and to my luck
it's only death that is a valid reason to stay home from Basel. So I keep my fingers crossed to get better ASAP.

Thanks.

The worst case scenario is that I may send Paul instead but then you will only get blurry pics.

OK - now in addition to the finger exercises prescribed earlier - please add morning and evening steam baths.

Join my assistant and light candles to the Swiss watch gods...you're bound to improve

PS: do not slip on the oily wet tiles...that will be a new problem...
