Over and out

Have had enough of blogging for a while. Going to Spain on 15 February for a while. I post all my photos on stuff on Facebook as the blog takes too long to upload - so if you want to see me or know what's going on then you'll have to join Facebook, or 'phone, text or e-mail or even write a letter.
Just few things:
1. My health worsens by the day
2. I'm travel more and more to the sun and stay longer and longer
3. I am content

Bye for now

Adios again!

Bye for now everyone...off to sunny Spain where it is 19C at the moment. Thank you to all my lovely friends who came to visit and whom I visited. Thank you for the 'phone calls and messages via all the bits of technology. Thank you to my doctor and consultants for their on-going care and affection.
A big raspberry to those who promised to visit or call but didn't!
See you on 19 January

Oops...I did it again!

I can honestly say that dislocation of the elbow is the most excruciating one I have ever had - and of course I had to do it again! I can put most dislocations back in but this one - oh no - the first time I did it I drove myself to Cromer Hospital - how I do not know - I think I was screaming most of the way and luckily I drive an automatic. This time I called the paramedics. So humiliating to be taken to hospital in your hubbie's track bottoms and scruffy food-stained tee-shirt! Can't wait for my new custom-made crutches to arrive from The Netherlands.

Filing

When it comes to filing the mail we are the best. First if letter is not hand-written or does not contain money (we can smell cheques and postal orders and cash) then put in bin, second at the end of the day empty contents of bin onto open fire. Major rule - cats never read bank statements because we are going to die one day and someone else can worry about it. Parcels are the most fun because they always contain something nice.

And so that was Kissmas

Fabulos meal at Ye Olde Tyneside. Back to Mike's for poker - I can bluff them to tears! Then Mike's mum who is Spanish taught us a Spanish card game. Knackered today - so no boxing. Out of the 20 that were coming six came down with really bad flu but we managed! Phil and Sue just came back from Cuba and said it was the worst vacation they had had in their lives. Mike is coming out to Spain with me in January - so I am staying two weeks instead of one. The only downside to Kissmas was I had the most terrible EDS flare up and had to take OraMorph.

Hearts

I'm into hearts at the moment. I have a private tutor now because I can't get on with classes of people painting Norfolk scenes. He is teaching me printing methods, using different bits and pieces as background - the blue one was painted on silver foil and the other on gold foil. It is such a beautiful symbol to use and no-one knows if a splodge is a mistake or intentional! I am next embarking on a huge canvas which we are going to do together - he one half and me the other on the nature of the colour blue - there will be an empty space in the middle for another artist to fill in. Can't wait.

Greetings

A CONTENT AND PEACEFUL CHRISTMAS
AND A
HOPEFUL AND
LOVEFUL
NEW YEAR
