Annmarie I am so sorry that you are poorly.

At least you have a Doctor looking after you.

You know that you have to be careful.

Rest as much as you can and try not to worry.

Can I send a rather large spray of flowers to a young lady who is not so well? I hope you are soon feeling much better, Ann Marie.

My wife and I returned from our travels late on Monday evening and last night we were out to dinner, a huge barbecue around the pool. It's very hot here, yesterday we hit thirty degrees and the air conditioning got its very first spin.

My cameras got a good workout and I am delighted with some of the shots, I will post some if you so wish. I have many flower, animal and bird pictures plus a few other items that may interest.

It's nice to be back and a special thanks to Doreen for keeping my seat warm although at present I would enjoy it being cooled down a bit.

Thank you all for your kind words. I love the photo. Oh, I can't wait for spring. It's my favourite time of year, when everything starts growing again.

You're are right, Doreen. I'm so very lucky with my doctors, they are brilliant. I am popping into the office and doing an hour or two. I have not got through all the posts yet. But they do cheer me up.

Here are three more that may help brighten your day.

Thanks for the flowers, 'ME'. That's the second lot I have received today. I hope your wife knows! I love the first one. I had one very similar to it in my old garden but the flowers were very small and just purple – no white flowers. I know the second plant. I have one indoors. In the UK they are houseplants, too tender to go outside.

Ann-marie, We have something in common, we both like flowers and especially Forum flowers.

Robin's wife is I think called Patricia and is an angel. She manages Robin and deserves a medal.

Take care

Robin- Robin- Robin. That was a very naughty post.

That wasn't my little Mouse talking was it

Robin —It is not a Woman's world.

Woman do have a very important part but we think differently, talk differently

and act differently.

We are always one step behind men.

I don't like to think either men or women are better. I like to hold my husband's hand when we are out and we walk side by side. I know when I worked for a Turkish family many years ago some of the men did not treat their wives as equals but others did. For example the Turkish Consulate General would travel in a bulletproof car with his friends and the wives would be in an ordinary car. Every one is different – that's the beauty of the world.

I suppose being a mouse you would need a little stealth and cunning.

I finish my antibiotics tomorrow. I can't wait. They are making me feel so ill. I have got some of the drinks that have the good bacteria in. I'm hoping they will make me feel a little better. I went out for the first time today. Just grocery shopping with my husband and it was exhausting. I feel like I've run a marathon.
