    If it's a left hand drive car you could theoretically operate the clutch with a walking stick while steering with the left knee and shifting gears with your right hand. But not on busy or narrow roads.

    Or, hire a car and break chips off the gears making clutchless gear shanges. It's not that difficult: you simply have to pause on your way through neutral to let the revs adjust. But it takes a lot of practice and crashing of gears to learn how. Have fun trying.

    The task there is to write a 50,000 word novel in a month. That doesn't sound so hard if you break it up into 2000 words a day for 25 days.
    In six weeks, you probably should be able to write a 75,000 word novel, no problem.

    I did this last year and a 50,000 word novel in a month isn't as hard as people think.

    I meant to ask: Is your foot is in plaster?

    Yes it is now. Toes up to Knee.

    I have an appointment at the fracture clinic tomorrow. I will find out how long I have to keep it on.

    I had the exact same situation in December. Slid on the first snow, fractured the same bone. Plaster, out of action for five weeks.

    I read books, watched movies, listened to a lot of music, played logical games. But the most important thing was spending time with my family. I had never spent this much time with my family before that and making up for it was just awesome. I loved it, kids loved it, my wife told me I became a better person. There's nothing like your eight month old daughter falling asleep in your arms while music is gently playing.

    Thanks for all the ideas.

    Just been to hospital appointment and been told my foot has not healed at all in those four weeks.

    Also been told if its this slow to heal, it could be 6 months without doing much.

    Really sad and pissed off now.

    Done a few things on here. I guess there is time for some more now.
