I love music by Heart. And "Sylvia's Mother" took me right back to my Catholic School days! :)

I sure hope they were enjoyable days at Catholic School. I don't want to bring up bad memories with my taste in music.

I can assure you that your image is quite erroneous, with me doing any herding. When Lemon, her daughter and I met up, in the Tate, we had a coffee, then immediately scattered to (three of) the four corners of the gallery. I seem to recall that mini-Lemon was keeping track of us by following sounds of laughter. She didn't seem that embarrassed, but I guess she's used to her mum, and so I wasn't that much of an extra adjustment.


hm, what can i say :roll:

Eye have the results of my blood tests. Everything is okay. BP has always been slightly elevated, with dire warnings from my GP to watch it. Had not taken tablets for a while!! ! So not very serious elevated BP seems to be the problem. :wall: Preventable!! !!

THere is no improvement in my sight and such things as parking, catching and 10 pin bowling need new strategies.

Narrow-angle glaucoma? Perhaps with time, as the blood pressure returns to normal, the fluid of the anterior and posterior chambers of your eye will equalize and lessen ...and take the pressure off your optic nerve.... I hope, I hope, I hope!! !

(don't have a "fingers-crossed/ good luck and /best wishes for a full recovery" icon, but I would display one here if we had one...)

Please take care of yourself Robyn!! ! :D (would use scolding icon, but you are already beating your head against a wall). That's not good for your blood pressure, BTW. :wink:

Mostly cold and damp, rain and fog.... Whatever you have will come my way eventually.
Most of the heartland south of you is gripped in ice. Very nasty ice storms they had in the Midwest.

Lauri, If that kitty were bald, old, and (right now) really scrawny, we'd look exactly the same. :wink:
:P

PS: You're right. Leonard Cohen really isn't very good. :P
Still, he may sing better than I can. 8O

Sad news, we were expecting another little niece/nephew, but pregnancy has failed. :( I'm minding Birdie whilst his mummy (and dad) are at the hospital.

We don't get ice storms here thankfully. Just white out blizzards and bitter cold. It really isn't bad once you get used to it. I would gladly send some your way. :twisted: We're supposed to have the coldest winter in 12 years.
