If music soothes the savage breast.....

I’ve done my fair share of choral work in the past but never once did I think that this kind of thing would tinkle my ivories or would ‘do it’ for me but this sure has.

Let me introduce....

Scala and Kolacny Brothers!!!!!!

Mrs. Bach's Rescue Remedy - Eggz 'n Beanz

Alas! Planet Paradise has been in rather a turmoil since returning from Bruges.

We've been having work done to the kitchen for weeks now but one day last week I really think I hit crisis point when I was without water and electricity, although I found myself inadvertently nicking a neighbour's bandwith from his unsecured wireless connection so found myself online when I shouldn't have been.

Being without water was the worst bit because I couldn't flush my toilet. I have an embarrasing problem occasionally in that area which meant I was forced to take a Codeine to stop me.... err.......... It totally spaced me out and I felt as if I kind of 'lost' a day out of my life. It was on this day that my kitchen was stripped bare; no sink and no cooker here any more....

The following day I was p'd off with eating takeaways and thought to myself, "Hell! my parents lived through World War 2- I'm sure I can get through this!" Huw wasn't around so once the electric was back on I cooked myself a 'gourmet' meal of scrambled eggs and Heinz Beanz in my microwave sat crossed legged on my lounge floor Shame I couldn't find the Lee & Perrins nor HP sauce but there you go...

I did however manage a 'mental health hour' during the week and nipped out to take some spring photos. Here they are...

OK so a dandelion is a weed but in truth isn't a weed simply a flower growing in the wrong place?

Easter in Bruges

We went away late Easter Sunday and arrived in Bruges on the Easter Monday for a 5 day break in glorious Spring weather. It's not the first time we've visited; the last time was in May 2003 but I spent most of that holiday in bed with food poisoning so missed much of it. You can read about those hilarious antics in THIS BOOK

I'd always wanted to return to this beautiful mediaeval city so we finally made it-and what a holiday it turned out to be; the best in 30 yrs because my MS is rather subdued or tame right now.

The above is a nightshot I took of probably the most famous view of Bruges with its canals and Belfry in the background.

Me doing what I love to do

This was Good Friday April 6th 2007 at The National Botanical Gardens of Wales -one of those wall-to-wall sunshine days. Not the most flattering of photos but....well.... it was a good opportunity to rest my pins anyway
