A little bit of sunshine in my life!!

This little girl has brought a lot of sunshine to my life, just as Rosanna has, she is Kathy and Kenneth's latest foster child , Yasmina!! She is a joy and while I was feeling very low after my accident she made me laugh and took my mind off things for a while bless her, I really love these two little girls!!!!

Well Done Dr. Johanna Cloke!!!!!!














I am so proud of you Johanna, well done on your Graduation and becoming Doctor Johanna Cloke. It was hard work and lot's of study but even though you had to do all that in Romanian , you did it. !!!!!!!! We are all so pleased for you and your next big event, your wedding coming soon and I know you had to work hard with all the arrangements for that. I wish you every happiness Johanna and Philip and am sure you will both be very happy. I love you very much Jo and am so proud to be your Granny.

Disastrous Holiday!!

I will not write a long boring blog about the holiday in Kusadasi, just to say it was awful. The journey was full of hold ups, the luggage was wet through on arrival and worst of all I had a bad fall and ended up in hospital. I have broken my nose and as you will see from the picture I am slowely recovering from the terrible bruising.If I had been drinking I could have said it was my own fault but I hadn't so really do not know quite what happened except I tripped over on the way to the bathroom in the night. That is why I have not written my blog as I have difficulty wearing my glasses, but I am putting my best foot forward and trying to get better for Johanna's wedding on the 11th October!!!

Cooler!!!!!!

Good morning all, I have been busy making Pitta bread and Rock Buns this morning and ironing and getting some things ready for my week away in Kusadasi with Amy. I shall take a few Rock Buns with me to Tina's (my tutor) this evening as they are always very kind and Tina's Mum makes pancakes for me so I would like to return the favour.

I had not been too well last week so on Friday night Amy suggested we should get our best tog's on and go out, we went to the Hotel Arad on the Terrace and had steak and three nice salads it was very nice and the food was delicious as usual. We just had one drink each and chatted about all sorts, but then the heavens opened and the rain just fell down in torrents. We decided we would go home but it was good to get out for a while. Kathy rang later on Skype and we all talked for an hour and Amy and I were singing for them all, they were all at Lesley's (Kathy's dearest friend.)

Yesterday (Sunday) I got all my housework done then Hajni came with Alexandra for a couple of hours, I watched a little TV ( good programme discussing the "Davinci Code") went to bed early as I was tired, I seem to get more tired lately (old age creeping on!!!) Well I will go and sweep the porch and path now and clean some windows , then may be a wee rest before my lesson at 5.30 pm.

Keep well every one and enjoy each day as it comes, you never know what may happen , so enjoy today!!!!!!!!!!
