St Francis Feast Day
Posted Oct 3, 2003
I would like to wish all Franciscan a happy Feast Day tomorrow the 4th October.
He is such a splendid person, and really made such a difference to the life of the Church and of the world that it is good to remember him.
With Franciscan affection,

What a difference fourteen tablets of anti-biotics can make!!.
Here I am - I have been up for well over three hours - (it is now nearly 0700 GMT)
Yesterday I was able to work in the kitchen, picking up things - mostly without dropping them!!) moving pots pans etc. etc. without gloves on. The first time in years.This of course means that my hands are getting better - in fact I would say 80% better. I am trying to be careful with my heart diet so that the angina and high blood pressure will be kept hidden - low and active but no longer menacing - and so Bob's your uncle - the old girl is up and about.
So much to do - and so little time. The living room looks really great - I just need the blinds to arrive - The marvelllous hanging baskets bought at the garden show in Tonbridge way back in April are still extraordinarily magnificent. They were worth every penny that I paid for them. I must contact the garden centre that made them at Faversham. The begonias are quite the most brilliant, shining and optimistic colour of yellow I have ever seen. Soft, silky and yet eye-startinly riveting.
Today I am even inclined to do some things I should have done yoincks ago - like getting my licence for my car. I have the insurance, I have the MOT but do you think I can get to the post office with all the goodies in hand - at the same time? But today is the day.
I sm so worried about darling Pandora. If anyone has news please do post it.
Hopimg this finds everyone as it leaves me. Well, happy and bursting
(even if rather feebly!!) with life.
Happy labor Day to those friends across the pond.

Ooops !! It's catching!!

I have just received news from our inimitable Pandora - the Born again Tart with long black plaits U171729.
She sends you all her 
apologises for not being able to combine a really bad infection with bright breezy bonhomie and happy talk, and is threatening to do dire things to her doctor if he DARES to put her into hospital where she apparently should be.
So dear friends rally round - send her a laughing message on a wing and a prayer. Tell her that - oh well you know what to say. Also she would like us to say a prayer for her niece who is having a MRI scan.
She asked me to post this on her page but I could'nt so I hope that all her friends see this.
She sends you all her (with suitable embilishements!!) and hopes to be able to soon be well enough to look at a computer screen,
"The go- between"- I wish I could write as beautifully as she does!!

Not a 100%
Posted Aug 27, 2003
Hi my friends,
Just a brief note to say that I am not feeling 100% - in fact I feel about 25 %.
It's a kidney infection apparently and also I suppose that my body is feeling the strain of having been taken off my heart medication which I had had for nearly ten years.
I shall write again as soon as I can wheel myself around without my head swimming and bursting out into a wretched running sweat.
Fond
