Update on Sir Patrick.

Hi All,

I don't know if this has hit the UK news group yet, but I just received it.

Good news.

UPDATE ON SIR PATRICK MOORE

As many of you will know, our Honorary Vice-President Sir Patrick Moore went
into hospital in Chichester earlier this week to have a pacemaker
fitted, as he was experiencing an erratic heartbeat. I am pleased to
inform members that Patrick had the pacemaker fitted this morning (Thursday)
and it is working fine. In a very short time he was sitting up in bed
reading his newspaper. I have just come back from visiting him in hospital
and he is in good form. His principal concerns were the latest cricket score
from India and whether Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter enters orbit around Mars
successfully tomorrow - in short, the old Patrick!

Patrick hopes to be back home at the weekend. He thanks BAA members for the
many kind wishes he has received over the past few days.

How monie lengthen'd, sage advices, The Husband frae the wife despises!"

His first major servicing after 83 years - not many of us can expect to
do that well.

I met him the best part of 50 years ago when I was secretary of our
university Astronomical Society. He was quite a character even in the
late 1950s.
