The rest of us need no reminder of that Harri.  You're a ninja warrior and the world would be all wrong without you in it. 

Quote from: HappyChappy
I am getting better

True that.  Who was it that famously said 'every day in every way I am getting better and better'?  It's a good mirror quote.

Quote from: Smusher
The calm in our lives is amazing and we are thankful.

I am thankful for that too.  Long may it last

Yeah, it is terrifying, but over time and with practice and repetition the terror goes away.

I can do in spite of my fear.

You do Harri, you do. Beagle do do.

I am confident the fear will always drain away (even though the Spice Girls have just announced a reunion).

I do not need to jutify this.

Panda and Harri are great forum friends. Here’s a family video:
