JUST A FEW RANDOM THOUGHTS.......

1) I am a bad blogger at the moment........ just haven't been in the mood to 'talk' recently!

2) I had a good time at the campsaite at CaSavio (just across the water from Venice) in May - apart from the journey there and back which was long and very tiring! Our caravan was in a pine forest next to a beautiful sandy beach though. We had a couple of swims - and enjoyed watching the woodpeckers and other birds while we sat outside eating our breakfast. We enjoyed the Italian coffee too (not to mention the Italian wine!).

3) We are off on our travels again in the early hours of Tuesday: one week in Croatia with daughter, then home for just a few days before hubby and I depart for our usual 2 weeks in my beloved Kefalonia.

4) Hubby is officially on sabbatical now; off work for 7 whole weeks! He has got lots of cricket and golf planned, of course.

5) My offspring are much the same as ever. Daughter hasn't been getting much work recently. She has been out on a couple of dates with a guy though......... she says he is nice, but she doesn't 'fancy' him at all. We keep telling her that might change as she gets to know him. He seems pretty keen on her though.......

6) Healthwise, my cyst has only just gone completely (there was a bit of fluid trapped in there for weeks!). Haven't felt really healthy since the cyst thing started. Am full of aches and pains too, but I guess that is just old age creeping up on me! Am hoping some time swimming and relaxing will help a lot though....... One good thing is that I was worried about my blood pressure as it had been raised again, but I had it taken on Thursday and it was normal. A big relief!

7) My one remaining sister-in-law (who has a schizophrenia-related illness) is in hospital at the moment. Always a difficult person, she has been upsetting the nurses in there and has been chucked out of her ward into another one. She is eating hardly anything and apparently looks very pale (I haven't seen her myself since January).

8) I have got to go now and get on with holiday preparations. Will promise to actually do some blogging again once I eventually return. Be good!
