My New Mode of Transport!

I´ve been meaning to get back into blogging for ages but being ill sort of makes you lose patience with things. Anyway here I am and I hope I don´t bore you.

I started with severe back pain last September and was told that it was lumbago. Two months later without any improvement I returned to the clinic and was referred to a trauma man at the local hospital. The xrays showed four fractures to the base of my spine.

Another two months to wait for a bone density scan and an MRI. They were evil! I´m waiting for the results and then it is back to the trauma man.

The picture shows running repairs to my wheels as one of them dropped off in Santa Cruz.

I´ve decided that being sixty isn´t good as I was fine at fifty nine.

Ten Years.....

We have been living in our apartment for almost ten years and I´ve decided it is time to have a clear out.

The plan is to do it room by room clearing out all the rubbish and then having a paint and such. One cupboard created five rubbish bags! We had at least five redundant phone chargers amongst other useless articles.

One distraction was a huge pile of photos which took ages to look through.

Tomorrow...........the wardrobe!

I´m Sixty!

To be honest it feels really old but I did have a brilliant day. I didn´t fancy a party in the evening and ended up opting for an afternoon pub crawl. I was amazed at the amount of folk who turned up and was thankful that the first bar had been warned! All the inside chairs and tables ended up outside. Yvonne made the cake and Nigel started off the Happy Birthday song.

Twenty plus cards and lots of gifts. Lucky me!

Sorry!

I haven´t posted anything for ages because nothing of note seems to happen these days. Having felt so cross with myself earlier today I´ve decided to make more of an effort.

My camera normally lives in my bag but when I tried to take a photo a couple of weeks ago I realised that the battery was dead. All charged up and where was it this afternoon? On my desk!

Lots of things were happening in the village this afternoon whilst we were out and about. A bouncy castle and other sorts of things in the plaza to amuse the kiddies. Then this bloke on stilts turned up with a band.

The photos I could have taken.

Have a Good One x

2011. How has that one crept up on me. I remember thinking forty odd years ago that I would be sixty and now I´m staring it in the face! I bought my new diary today. Another book full of shopping lists and such but I do love opening the first page of a new year. I´m hoping for a really happy one for me and mine.

For anyone reading this I wish you a really HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Christmas!

I hope everyone has enjoyed Christmas. We have a really nice one with lots of nice stuff to eat and a few laughs down the local!

Have a good New Year all xxx

A Strange Couple of Weeks...

It has been one bad thing after another for ages and I really don´t feel in the mood for the Christmas celebrations this year.

The first shock was the death of a very good friend of ours in Cornwall. We have been mates for well over twenty years and I would have liked to support his wife Barbie during her bad time. A card never seems to be enough.

Philip, my eldest grandchildren´s Grandpa passed away the following day which was another knock.

They say that these thing happen in three´s and it was true in our case as another friend of ours died last Wednesday. We went to his funeral yesterday.

A quiet Xmas I think and I hope 2011 will be happy for everyone.
