These days I seem to be
spending an inordinate amount of time either ill, or in pain, or
both. I dislike giving a catalogue of my ailments and the assorted
treatments as it is about as interesting as reading a medical
catalogue...with the exception of course of the surgical appliance
pages which I find fascinating.........how the hell does anyone
manage to function while using the blessed things......?
Did you know that you
have to be fitted for a truss, in exactly the way you would be fitted
for a bespoke suit of clothes! I kid you not, I once knew a truss
fitter, nice chap but inclined to be a trifle whimsical under the
circumstances,I often felt.
Enough of this
frippery! Finding the time and energy to write anything readable
these days is well nigh impossible as I keep on falling asleep. I am
still managing to cook family dinner...with a little help but sadly
very little more.
The bulldozing of my
beloved garden could not have come at a worse time as I was unable to
go out and lie in front
of the machine. The beautiful damson tree with the first tips of
white flower just beginning to show was hacked down mercilessly,and
yes I was dreadfully upset, though seeing everything through a fog of
pain may well have saved me from even worse distress.
Please forgive me if I
neglect you for a time, shall pop in when ever I can over the next
few months.
One piece of terrific
news is that my son,who's books are still selling very well indeed
has a double release coming up in a couple of weeks. The Adventures
of the Battle Cruiser Alamo has found an appreciative and rapidly
growing audience. Published by Amazon it is well worth a look if you
love Sci Fi.
He also has a Sword and
Sorcery novel “Swords of the Damned” out in a week or two.
Thank you all for
reading about and for caring about Avies Small World, although it is
now even smaller and even though Avie is sick, that lovely little
world lives on in the birdsong, and the winter crocus that still star
the ground in the the broken orchard.
What is left is still
unbelievably sweet.
get well soon
