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!

Oh John, now you deem it necessary to call me Mama M(good you don't jump directly to grandma!!) so that all kind of naughty EA visions may swiftly been dissolved ... I see you are quite the exercised man! Yes, now be a good boy, and behave yourself, otherwise the Twilight World nurse will haunt you, you know!

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!

How lovely. I had a great laugh. If lady Margherita is titled Mama, I should be called Aunt Tom. We are all in the same family, aren't we. I hope that grandpa, the babysitter is off fishing today. Have a good recovery, dear John!!!
