hooray!

Thank you to those of you that have "made contact" recently.  I am feeling a lot happier with my situation and have woken to the realisation that I am ruddy lucky to be here, yep, I woke at 11am.  Could not have done that on a Thursday in London!  So just thought I'd put a more cheerier note here to make sure everyone knows I am ok. 

I played the guitar last night with my very own homemade capo (a hairband and plastic pen) and have been practising my bar chords.  Now my fingers are quite tender but I have improved, a little bit!  And I've been making the most of being able to listen to Belle and Sebastian over and over again as I think previously Eva may have got a *little* annoyed at that.  Love it!

So all in all....just going to try and take everything in my stride.  I know where people are if I need them and in the mean time I will follow this little snippet of advice:

Enjoy having some peace and quiet and prepare yourself  for the rush of invitations that will be coming your way in the future.

Good call Alison, thank you!
