lve been silent for ages .l had an accident with a cup of tea and the builders computer! they dont mix well! so the computer and l have not been hanging out together, l had to leave it in a repair shop in Spain to await my return ....one day...<br />
Today lm laying in bed with a guest computer,it turned up at the weekend which was lovely suprise,l do hope it will stay for a long while along with the son it belongs to ...... and that way l can read all my fav blogs and feel part of the blogging world again..At least be part of something...some sort of world...<br />
lm spending LOTS of time in bed or on the sofa..the list of diagnoses growing with each trip to the Hospital!! l feel like a brownie or girl guide earning badges for her uniform each time they say you have****all these years when they didnt know what was the problem and l didnt have a defining label other thanME/CFS Endometrisis and Fowlers syndrome ( they did say l had MS for three years then they decided that l didnt have that , luckily, No bad thing) Now l have labels coming out my ears!! Hashimotos Thyroiditis...Lupus SLE....Sjogrens Syndrome ...Hughes Sydrome,and fibromyalgia oh and l forget the trigger fingers and thumbs!...all settling in to my body ,or taking it over with out bouncer or policeman or Army at my door to say settle down or sling your hook! l am not able to tollerate any medicines to halt the progression of anything or treat pain.Which is a bit of a bummer.l havent had any Thyroid meds for a year next month which is no fun,as my levels deplete, BUT sooo much better than taking them, as they made me worse..The ME/CFS sort of tirdeness, of days gone by seems a world away from this Lupus stuff, which is in a different leagueSort of upping the anti.. L used to pace myself on a daily basis ( did the pain clinic thing got the badge years a go) now l have to start pacing the week before a trip out and expect a week in bed after the event!!lm laying here today as l WENT OUT on Saturday evening..what a brazen hussy!l went to my daughters engagement Party.. (lovely night just floored since )<br />
Sorry just having a pissed off Monday morning...grey out side ..NO bad thing as l cant go in the sunshine anymore! l just feel that as soon as l push a new door, craft wise something comes a long and says No you cant do that!so l start something new and then bang again a big NO NO..If l had a brain l would be dangerous! If l were a horse they would have shot me by now....! or maybe thats why l have trigger fingers!! SOMEONE trying to tell me something??<br />

l expected my first appointment to bring blood tests talk and examination ...but l was in at 9.30am out at 11am with two new labels for my suitcase of medical notes...A Lovely consultant ,kind ,caring ,sympathetic ,so knowledgeable where has he been all these years! ..l wished he specialized in Endocrine disorders as well..l have blogged about this on the other one! but l thought l would up date the world and all who read here that l now have ANOTHER COUPLE of reasons for feeling like .....t! or crap to be more polite!<br />
l will get my head around this and l will be back xx<br />

Last week we went to see that big circus that has moved into the Royal Albert Hall...<br />
Cirque Soleil "Totem"<br />
<br />
On the way there the builder took me Via Marble Arch to get a sugar fix of Jelly babies!!<br />
there so yummy!!! sorry the picture as usual doesn't do them or the wonderful colours justice!we had seen them on the television the evening before ..they are part of a sculpture month in London...l took the picture on the way home ( two fixes in one day!) as at 6.30pm getting out of the car at the sugar spot was a NO NO! but at 11.30pm the builder dropped me off, did a couple of laps of the Arch and then Picked me up! haven't been picked up in AGES! we headed off down Park Lane ( get me off of that sofa and the sky's the limit!) to see another sculpture of a Fiat 500 with a large hand holding it. inspired by the sculptors son holding a toy car. there was No chance of a picture here.( dont know either artists name l will google soon)<br />
The "Totem" acts were great ...<br />
Some new treats to delight..And Some old tricks made so much more interesting with luminous fabrics<br />
and props....l OOooOHD and ARrrrHd throughout the whole show and ended up with a nervous tic!<br />
l nodded off , (when the a man on rollerskates began swinging his partner around with the rope around her neck, like you do! ),just for a little while! well it was warm and dark and l had been on a 1hr car journey in the rush hour and l had walked from the car park! and l had got off of the SOFA at 3pm pre shower) the builder gave me a liitle push and that power nap had just fixed me fine!<br />
When those petite little ladies on VERY high unicycles started throwing the pile of bowls from the top of each of their heads to one and another we GASPED! so perfectly timed so well rehearsed SO CLEVER! but how many people in the audience reeeeally wanted one to just pop off her bike!? NOT ME!<br />
The best thing for me was the special effects ,projected on to the circular stage ..all different kinds of water from waves lapping on to the beach..trickling rivers, meandering streams,mud filled banks,and pools of Sharks and koi Carp, and the best thing EVER was the men swimming under the sea ( effect ) when they made it to the edge of the stage (at different points) and then REAL men popped up in the exact spot as the other (effect )men had disapeared ( bare with me here l was in AWE...) <br />

<br />
Save our Forests<br />
Hi everyone, please read an excerpt below from a message sent by the Save Our Forests campaign which arrived today:<br />
This Wednesday there is a crunch vote in Parliament. MPs will vote on a motion demanding a rethink of plans to sell our national forests. The fact this vote is happening shows that MPs have noticed our campaign. <br />
Right now, the petition is nearly 330,000 strong, and every name counts. So we’re setting a bold new target of half a million people by 5pm on Tuesday in time for Wednesday’s hugely important vote. <br />

SO l will be able to blog with pictures again soon.....<br />
l am still in Spain,,the weather is still lovely and much cooler...<br />
l am not feeling great but it is lovely to have the blue sky and sun on your back<br />
better than the weather they are having back home in London...<br />
As a family we haven't ever gone in for competitions on the TV or magazines, ..we would never win! and l couldn't win an argument! BUT last week my daughter felt compelled <br />
to ring in to a radio station whilst waiting in her car, for her boyfriend at the train station..(bored!).<br />
AND she got through .AND they chose her line 9.AND she guessed the correct title of the music..<br />
AND SHE WON!!!!!!!!! A HOLIDAY TO BARBADOS!! it was amazing...<br />
all she kept telling me when she phoned was that she had spoken to a spice girl!(she loved them when she was little!) Emma Bunton (baby spice) was presenting the show...l am so pleased for her, she finished her Uni course and graduated in July and has worked all summer to get some money behind her ,as she started her new PGCE course last week....now , as the holiday is for a family of four, can she and her brother become children again!? making me the responsible PARENT!!and able to take them with ME to Barbados!! ha ha!<br />
