It was good to read that you can walk again, and are able to make several kilometres. Unfortunately, my Englis friend is compelled to use an electric scooter (the combination of a moped and a wheelchair). A Hungarian name for such an appliance is “electric chair”. In Hungarian we have two words for “electric”, and we use its synonym for the device of capital punishment.

It was my own stupid fault I broke my leg - trying to pretend that I can still do things I used to do as a young man - so I don't deserve any sympathy. (I was also very lucky in my timing; a few days after my "desirable" hospital operation to fully correct the damage they were cancelling all such non-essential operations because of coronavirus). I am pleased to say that I have been able to walk without crutches for the last two weeks, and am now walking 2 miles (3Km) or so most days. Still quite painful at times but steadily improving, thank you.

Dear Mr. Jolly Wet,

I am terribly sorry that you broke your leg, and I wish you a very speedy recovery.

Great to hear from you, Laszlo. I was afraid you might have given up on the Forum - it has been less interesting without you.

Yes, I used to do that all the time. I used regularly to be seen standing outside a shop, pub or railway station near the beach, frantically waving banknotes in the air to dry them off enough to buy my ice cream, ticket or whatever. Or with banknotes laid out side-by-side on the table in a restaurant to try to dry them off before the bill came (or even more often laid out on the table in the train going home, so that I could buy something from the buffet car or trolley).

I tried to avoid the problem by putting my valuables in a waterproof pouch; but any pouch which is small enough to fit in a pocket is also very difficult to get things in and out of, and its just about impossible to get just one note out - if one comes out all the others come with it. So I would take them all out to buy something (or they would come out with my phone if I needed to use that), then I couldn't immediately spare the time and effort to coax the remaining ones back into the pouch (especially if I'd just seen some wetlook happening in the distance!) so would just stuff them in an ordinary pocket "temporarily". Then off course I would forget about them and go back into the water....

That problem is now largely solved by contactless credit and debit cards, which are unaffected by water and wipe dry very quickly, and of course are accepted almost everywhere nowadays.

Some years ago my wife and I were having lunch in a restaurant on a seashore. After having the meal, before paying the bill, some irresistible urge came over me, and I took a fully clothed dip in the sea. A bit later I had to give damp banknotes to the waiter, as I had forgotten about my purse. Has anybody experienced anything similar?
