I was chatting to an English neighbour the other day and the subject of prepping came up. He laughed and said 'Not that again. Why do we need to prep? Tell me exactly what you think is going to happen.' Well, of course I couldn't tell him because I don't know. What I do know, … Continue reading JUST IN CASE

PROUD TO BE A WARRIOR
It came to me in the night. I don't remember what my dream was but I awoke with this enormous surge of power. I shot out of bed, gave Monty his chewy and sat down to write. GRASPING THE MOMENT This is what I do, I write and this is my principle way of passing … Continue reading PROUD TO BE A WARRIOR
INSIDE OUT
Thursday came and the sun was shining, thank goodness. I'd been looking forward to our walk with Monty in the hospital carpark and the little grassy area alongside. It seemed a good idea to ring the hospital when I was about to leave the house so they could have Leaf ready for when I arrived, … Continue reading INSIDE OUT
BLOSSOM TIME
This week's post is short, sweet and hopeful. After my last upbeat phone 'conversation' with Leaf, it was hard to be optimistic when I next rang to speak to him. Would he have lapsed back into gobbledygook, take forever to respond then leave me wittering away on the end of the line because he'd been … Continue reading BLOSSOM TIME
EVER THE OPTIMIST
Today, I had a truly extraordinary experience. I rang Leaf just before lunch. He came on the line and said gaily 'Hello, darling, how lovely to hear from you!' A lump rose in my throat. We then had a good conversation with him sounding almost normal, just a little slow to respond. My Leaf was … Continue reading EVER THE OPTIMIST
FASCINATING WHAT WE FIND
I'm always distracted when rooting through the office to find a document I'm sure I have but can't remember where to find it. When I came across a photocopy of one of my letters to the Weekly Guardian from 2008, I just had to read it. And, lo and behold, it was about Alzheimer's. SORRY NO … Continue reading FASCINATING WHAT WE FIND
DON’T BLAME THE MESSENGER…
Our marriage has reached a stage where all I can do is wait. Not for anything specific, at least not for anything specific that I'm at present prepared to divulge, but because the situation for both Leaf and I has no immediate resolution. So far, after the operation, he's doing well, although I have not … Continue reading DON’T BLAME THE MESSENGER…
THE OP. AT LAST!
Dear Friends – I'm back! It's been a busy time on the hospital front. I was called to Lannemezan in a hurry – no nothing wrong, but an appointment for Leaf with the anaesthetist prior to his op. which had now been scheduled for the fourth of March. Leaf was pretty comatose, lying on the … Continue reading THE OP. AT LAST!
GLITCH
Well, I suppose it had to happen one day. My computer is caput and I'm posting from Leaf's old computer which is horribly slow. I'm not going to attempt a post this week, suffice to say that Leaf is still incarcerated and I have no idea when they're going to let me see him. That's … Continue reading GLITCH
BACK IN THE WAITING ROOM
A non week, a flat week, a finally getting around to sorting odd socks week. I’m banned again from visiting Leaf. For how long, they don’t know. I ring him most days but apart from his initial greeting ‘Hello sweetheart’, he’s unable to carry out anything resembling a conversation, usually forgets I’m on the end of the line, … Continue reading BACK IN THE WAITING ROOM
