Reassurance

Just a quick post to let you know that we are still alive - we are aware that one or two of you get concerned that that is not the case when we have not blogged for a few days.

No excuses, it is the socialising season around once again. Last Monday we went with our Book Group to an open air production of "The Importance of Being Ernest" by Oscar Wilde. We start the proceedings with a lovely picnic where everyone contributes something and then watch the play. The actors are an English company who tour the area each year, mostly performing Shakespearean plays. They are very professional and we thoroughly enjoy the productions, although the choice of play this year John and I felt was more like a pantomine. "Praps we just aint cultured enough"!!

Later in the week we had friends to stay and then we were out for a meal with other friends who invited a number of their French neighbours. Guy and Carla are arriving on Wednesday and then we have friends coming during the next month, so the blog postings may be a bit erratic.

John has still heard nothing further from the hospital, although they have assured us that he is not forgotten. In fact he has had a couple of good days and has been putting plasterboard up in the en suite in bedroom 2. I have recovered from my neck problem now as long as I listen to my body when it says "that's enough".

I hestitate to say this but we dont seem to have had any deer visitations lately. Whether its the rattling red and white tape, human hair, a urine based concoction or just luck I cannot say.
