@moyra how did your hospital appointment go and hope you are alright my friend

@shiney is H feeling any better my friend

 

Aloha everyone,

@wiseowl thank you for asking. She is improving slowly. We went for a wander yesterday and she managed about a mile before being too tired to carry on (got a taxi back). In the evening we took another stroll which was OK.

Fortunately we've been having some sunshine and it certainly seems to help her to sit where the sunshine can get to her. The cough has been easing up

Keep well and have a great day

Aloha!

 

Good morning @shiney that is good news my friend,here's the sunrise here this morning

 

Good morning all my friends have a lovely Friday

 

Good morning everyone,

@moyra that's good news long may it continue

@CanadianLori thank you

We're on our way home from Madeira shortly. The weather has not been too bad with daytime temperatures ranging from 14C - 17C. When there's been no sunshine it has felt cold with a fairly strong Atlantic wind but when the sun is out it's sunbathing weather. So, when we go out for a walk it's with being wrapped up warm and with coats on and then removing our wrappings when the sun comes out - and putting them back on when the clouds come over. Most days we managed a few hours of sun with a couple of days that had only a very little sun. Nights were mild(ish) as the wind dropped after sunset.

Fortunately the weather was kind for the Carnival, although the forecast had been rain.

Mrs Shiney is showing some positive signs of recovering. We strolled into town (just over a mile) and wandered around. She only needed three stops to recover a bit of energy each time. We stopped for lunch and she ate her first full meal (spicy charcoal grilled chicken with chips and salad) and we watched the chef doing the grilling just a couple of feet from us on the front verandah of the small restaurant. During the meal we had the on and off coats dance as the clouds kept coming over. The lovely restaurant dog decided to fall asleep at Mrs Shiney's feet.

The 1.5 miles stroll back needed about an hour of stops on the way but the sun shone all the way and she was able to sit and relax in it. By evening she was looking much better, but tired. The 'hurry up, and stop' of airports and flights will be a strain but she should be able to doze on the plane.

I'm straight off to the bridge club when we arrive home and shall download my photos to the computer tonight - if Tom brings it back this afternoon (he's been giving it a service and cleaning the insides, reorganising the back-up systems and scrapping all the rubbish that accumulates on the computer).


Keep well and have a great day

Aloha!
