Woe, woe and thrice woe!

 Here we are, the edition that almost never was.  Not exactly as planned, but hey, ho—such is life.

 I know, you’re thinking: “what on earth has she been up to?  There hasn’t been a magazine since December!”  But, dear reader, the fates have conspired against me…

 Having waved the newly-weds off on their honeymoon cruise (this one stayed afloat, thank goodness), I promptly managed to damage my brand new eye.  This resulted in more trips to hospital and surgery, followed by enforced rest. 

 Then came Christmas and New Year—more enforced idleness for which I wasn’t grateful as I felt I had lost enough time already. 

 At last the festivities were over and we set about putting this issue together, only to then find my aged mother doubled over in pain and needing urgent medical attention.  A hospital stay ensued (should I buy a season ticket to the car park?) along with the usual anxiety that the frailty of an elderly parent brings. 

Then, just when I thought it was safe to get back behind the computer….disaster struck!  This time in the form of a truly virulent virus that put my entire system in hospital for days.  Happily everything is now working again!  Even Mum!

 Makes me wonder if someone, somewhere is trying to tell me something….Frankly, a trip to Khardung La seems an excellent idea!

See you next month???
