Superglue may be okay, but I think I would break out the JB Weld for
this one!!

Hi Brian - Kloumpios's injuries were fairly severe. He has some pain
medication but I suspect he'll be needing more (once Steve posts the
pictures, you'll understand why). But gnomes are very hardy folk and I
suspect spending the week with you (plus a bottle of super glue) will do
wonders for his legs.

Thanks, Dave. While Clumpy prepares a bed for flower seeds, light
gardening work, I can give Kloumpios a job downloading video tapes
(including San Diego and Long Beach at the time of IPC meetings in
1996?? and 1999??) for editing; should be OK for his leg. Has he
medication to take? I phoned his family and they are coming here to see
him and his US cousin for the traditional Sunday souvla, but it will be
tomorrow, so that the priest doesn't see them breaking the Lenten Fast
(very serious here) because it's a Cypriot bank holiday (EOKA Day).
I think I can hear the chugging of two John Deeres coming up the hill.
