From my sick bed.....


Because I just passed  all the tests*
And have been given the all clear
So I’m gonna go get dressed
And limp the hell outta here !


* Luckily for me, intelligence was not part of the criteria ....Next time you see I have posted, I shall be back home.....John

Simon, I am glad I brightened up your day...  by the way, that was not an earthquake we had the other day, it was me trying to get to the bathroom in a hurry as they said I could not leave until I had “ been”  I did not need telling twice !!


TD & Martie, Thank you !  Much Love John

Margherita....And very warm thanks to you, I hope I do not have to start “ Fishing” for compliments when I resume posting, you may get overfaced as my creative side has been working overtime....

Ready? Steady .... Andiamo!


Love John


Poddarku,  thanks my friend.... I hope your pen has been busy, I will be checking up on you

Amusemi & SEA... Many thanks,

Margherita, Only six? I do have 1 very large one waiting in the wings, as you may have guessed,  events having occurred in a large antiseptic building in the last few days may well influence 1 or 2 of them.....

Sunshine,  limping carefully as we speak, speed of recuperation is increasing with each minute I am back in the blue...

Dixie, I do so love being the bearer of glad tidings, hope the wait will turn out to be worth it !  Sorry to say, slowly is not something I am too good at, this place ( and  you guys) should be on prescription as it is doing me more good than any medication....it’s good to be home, thanks for keeping my seat warm    

Midnitesun, I’ll drink to that ! ( I wish....)

Thanks people......John

Nurse, Nurse !!!


‘Pon my soul, I just came over all feint
But attributed to my condition it most surely ‘aint

For my brain has been denied it’s supply of blood (!)
By that Gif of a Heavenly Nurse from up above

So as soon as the swelling goes down in my incision
Do you know what I’m going to do?

I’m going to visit Pictorial Precision
And have it turned into a tattoo

I do not think my doctor will be too pleased
When he discover my blood pressure has increased

For I was advised to give my heart a rest
Which is easier said than done

When I’m having so much fun
Flexing the muscles on me chest…..

Oh, no! Nurses are not to raise the blood pressure readings of their patients! We are supposed to lower them. I suppose my uniform was rather provocative.

Excuse me while go slip into a uniform that is less comfortable and less likely to raise your blood pressure.



There now, that should help settle your blood pressure back down to normal!

John, I was shocked by your reply to Margherita! She's not that kind of girl!

"Margherita, I just collapsed on the floor.....laughing! I never knew the recovery position was laying on your back & kicking your legs with tears rolling down your face"

Hmmm! Quite the visual here!!! lol

~ you lying on her back and kicking her legs   with tears rolling down her face! 'Tis no wonder she'd be crying! lol lol lol

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I have a naughty sense of humour! Mind you, there are those who would say it is a "sick" sense of humour!

Hugs to both of you!

Ooops! I can't remember my name! ~ I have so many of them!

Smart Angel is obviously not one of them then,   everyone knows Dolphins cannot lie on their back, something to do with the dorsal fin I believe, I remember that from watching flipper when I was 7 ( 1993 to save you working it out)...

Ooops! Of course you're right! I forgot that Margherita is a dolphin and that her dorsal fin would not be conducive to the supine position!
Silly me!

Now, you best take a rest. It's been fun but I don't want you over-doing it!

Sleep, baby, sleep. Close your eyes and drift away. (Words from a lullaby I wrote can come in handy at times!

Mama M, sounds good to me, dear John! A Mama suggests kindness and Mamas should by all means be allowed to laugh and tease too, so it fits very well ... as long as I can play the Dolphin part sometimes in between, because the Pisces "girl" loves the ocean!
