G'mornin Dot... wow, twice in one week...
I'm beginning to feel rather special.
Wotcha want, huh?
Did a big shop today ready for heading off soon

Lots of cooking to be done as well
I want to catch up with you and Trina so how about you hook up that van of yours and meet up for a few days in a couple of mths??? huh huh..
Bed time now so goodnight everyone x

goodnight Annette & Darryl x
Doubt we will be doing any more traveling with the van Dot.
Since we returned last November my back pain has increased considerably, Doc says it's degenerative & fairly common in 'older folk' !

The only chair I can sit in for any length of time is an adjustable office type chair... I can drop the back of the chair down so that I'm sitting in a "V"... all other chairs, including Father-in-laws (RIP) old Jason recliner now no longer help. So, last week we went out & ordered a beaut multi adjustable chair... should be here next week. Additionally, our 26 year old Queen bed has been passed down to one of our grandkids - who loves it - & we bought a couple of king singles with very expensive mattresses & they get delivered today.
As if that wasn't enough I have a bite of some sort on a knuckle of my left hand & last week I ended up with a red streak heading up my arm - up to about an inch wide. Back of the hand swelled up & was extremely tender. Doc gave me some antibiotics but didn't help much, then a different brand which seems to have stopped the red streak, but, the arm is still painful & the inner elbow is now also tender. Back of the hand swelling has reduced but not completely & the colour is a lot paler than the right hand. Bite - if that's what it was - is about the size of the nail on my little finger & slightly rounded. Have had the arm in a sling (now & then

) & yesterday I had a check for blood clots - all clear - have another check of some kind later this morning. If that also proves negative dunno what the next move will be. Surprised they didn't take a sample from the bite area.
Sunny days here this week but night temps down to 2 - 4 all week.
Will advise when all good again.
