Had a back strain, not sure how, as I was just walking through the kitchen at the time. :facepalm: Cold pack, voltorol, paracetamol, and a little rest and I'm back in business but in slow motion, SWMBO is doing a sterling job helping out too. :mrgreen: 3 down but the last ones always a fecker. :evil...
