The last time she posted was about 10 days ago when she was going to see her MIL who was in hospital with a suspected stroke. Hope everything is OK.
Has anyone heard from Mildred?

Big fright this week !
As you all may remember,at the beginning of February I had a cataract op',and all was going well.Had my follow up appointment and was told that the other eye could be done now,although it was nowhere near as bad as the first.Decided I may as well get it over with,and booked it for soon after I get back from holiday in May.(The waiting list would have encroached on the recovery period)
Nearly 2 weeks ago,I went onto my balcony to put a finished flower pot out there.As I bent down,the wind caught the very heavy door and smashed my head into the railings,I saw stars ! Came in,sat down for a bit,and did wonder whether it would have affected my eye. Could,'t put my finger on or explain it properly,but it didn't feel right.Anyway,1 week later,Monday evening,I thought that I should get some advice,so phoned Moorfields who told me to get down to my local eye unit first thing next morning,and not to drive.
I was told to go to the urgent care eye bit,and when the doc looked at my eye,she said that the new lens was wobbly.I asked what that meant,and she said it could mean major surgery,as they had to go into the back of the eye! Anyway,she would put drops in and then have another look!!! I had 20 mins.whilst they were working to text S and phone D,I was so scared.D said she would come right up to the hospital,bless her.The doc called me in again before D got there,took another look and TG,told me that I was very lucky,it hadn't actually moved.However,Now I have got to be extremely careful,no sudden movements,no bending down,no lifting anything heavy etc.etc. Whew ! D was very angry though that the doc had put me,(an elderly lady as she put it), through 20 mins.of hell,when I asked what it meant,she should have just said," Let's wait until the drops have worked,then we'll see if anything needs to be done "
I hadn't realised just how often I need to bend down,my knees don't like bobbing down ! :(

Sugar-free and lacto-free sweets. sweets and
When I am dieting I solve my sweet craving by buying sugar-free sweets. M@S does a good little selection, my favourites being Butter Scotch Drops and also Strawberry and Cream.They do mints too.
A local American sweet shop also sells 6 varieties of sugar free ones. Many people tell me the side effect of the sweeteners in them can have you trotting to the toilet, but I have never had that problem with them and they keep me on the diet.
My daughter can't take anything with milk or butter in it so I sent her a box of Marshmallows from Boomf which can put your choice of photos on them or a choice of designs and sayings. I have sent them to my grand children in Australia as there is no P/P cost. It is The Duchess of Cornwall's brother who started the company.
Do you know of any others ?

What a shame!
So awful to see this video about Hillbrow in Johannesburg, and what it has become - so many broken windows, so much rubbish. I am glad Cape Town hasn't suffered the same fate, but then it is not ruled by the ANC but by Mmusi Maimane of the Democratic Alliance. Cape Town still is the beautiful city it always has been.

Fresh Spring Knitting Patterns!
Things at Interweave Knits are so busy and crazy right now, and I have to admit that I love that. We have some exciting things in the works, and in the meantime there are new spring knitting patterns in the Interweave store for individual sale. Sunday marked the official beginning of spring, though just a…

Fresh Spring Knitting Patterns!Wanted to wish you all ….
A happy weekend in the comfort and joy of family and friends, go easy on the chocolate if you feel you must.
Easter weekend is a bit away here but am off to the North of Greece (on two wheels) with two other couples till Sunday evening - weather forecast not great but I shall grit my teeth and try not to moan through the helmet to helmet communication system (not appreciated by my driver).
Presently preparing my bike box (very minimalist) and had a lot of fun trying to transfer the shampoo, conditioner, coconut oil and cc cream from their original containers into the Titchy ones.
Dogs are now hopefully comfortably housed at the kennels - my lovely Layla was not a happy girl (felt wretched leaving her - first time she wasn't happy to be there - hope she's okay and stays well for the duration).
Have a good weekend everyone. xxx

"Violation of the 'customs' of war"
Can someone please explain to me what that means? Customs not to be confused with the customs of a peace loving country, customs of traditional celebration, i.e., Easter, Christmas? Karadzic has just been sentenced to 40 years plus I believe nearly 20 years after the fact!
