iro-iro

I have just pinched this post title from my friend in Tokyo.  It means "various" in Japanese.
Well it's obvious I didn't follow the advice in my last post. You must be thinking I have pressed the pause button.  Actuallly there have been a series of diversions from the norm!  I had a rather painful session at the Eye Hospital and for three days this week I have been feeling like death.  However today I only feel half dead so I must be recovering.  (My Scottish neighbour once said to his doctor "Oh Doctor I'm near dead".To which the doctor unsympathetically replied  "You are the liveliest looking corpse I've seen today".) To continue - the house has been swarming with workmen cutting off the electricity among other things so no computering.
The fridge freezer episode turned out to be a case of serendipity, a happy accident.  As well as having a lovely new fridge freezer my kitchen has been much improved and reorganised by Amanda and our clever builder friend. The electricity is now back on .  Yesterday it was a case of keeping on the move to keep warm!  The weather today is very cold but bright.

In March I have lived in Hove for 7 years.  Amazing where the time has gone.  It was a wise move of Mike and Don's although I hadn't contemplated living here without Don who died only two months after we moved. One never knows what surprises, nice or nasty, life has in store.
