Keeping in touch across the miles

Ooh, it snowed today! First it was a light snow with the sun shining through, which was beautiful. Then it came down harder, like a mini-blizzard. Wee!! I don’t know why it’s so comforting, it just feels like nothing else in the world matters when the snow is coming down and encloses wherever you happen…

Hi! I am fed up!!! It is very grey and Novemberish at the moment, which dosen’t help the mood. Dave went to Taiwan on Tues. eve. He should return on 30th Nov. early in the morning. He forgot his high blood pressure pills!!!! Men! The courier screwed up delivering them but he managed to see…

It’s almost over! I can’t believe it… two weeks today. Really only one week for most of my classes, but because we had two Mondays off in a row in October, we get an extra two days in the first week of December for our Monday class. It’s just gone so quickly… this school year…

I’m still very busy with school. Not much to say, really. Work has died down a bit, thank goodness, because I just have so many assignments now. It’s nuts. Not that I didn’t have them before… they’re just all DUE soon. Mike and I had a little party Fri. night to celebrate Hallowe’en. It was…

Gosh! It is a while since I posted. I have been busy. Mum and dad left on Monday 13th. On the 18th Nick Hana and Yvonne stayed overnight as Hana was being dropped off at Yvonne’s sisters on Sunday to spend the week there. We continued with our decorating of the TV room which had…

My arthritis (Oesteo) has been playing up lately so I went for physio today, that really helped as I have been getting bad lower back pain extending down my right leg. Anyway felt so good I went for a walk when I got back. I just want to get movement back and be fairly pain…

Eventually getting round to an update – while travelling again! Summer is finally leaving us, judging by the colour of the leaves on the trees and the cool of the early morning air. The fall is beautiful this year in the UK, due to the long hot summer (and autumn, so far). We still have…
