Thanks for all your well wishes guys and gals ... I had staples removed and a new fibreglass cast fitted today ... still no weight bearing for a further 4 weeks at least so won't be doing anything much.
In reply to Mike ... I was taking photos of a waterfall near my home and slipped on a wet rock

It just shows how easily these things can happen.
Cheers ALL ....... I'll catch up with things astro later.
