Get Well Soon Jane XXX

I had a call the other night to say that a good friend of ours is in hospital after suffering a stroke!

The friend is Elaines lifelong friend Jane, they went to school together, and have kept in touch all throughout the years. 

Jane is the lovely friend who flew out from the UK and accompanied Elaine back to Macclesfield last May.  She visited her virtually everyday in both the Christie hospital and the East Cheshire hospice, she was at Elaines bedside at the very end.

She is in The Acute Stroke Unit at Salford hospital Manchester so she couldn't be in a better place.

Elaine and Jane back in Oz.

Im back off to the UK on Saturday for mums funeral. The funeral is on Tuesday so I am going to pop in and see Elaine's sis Julie before that, she is still fighting the bastard cancer.

With all this crap going on I still feel blessed, I have had a fantastic life and am now pretty chilled out in Spain, it's a good place to be at the moment.

I went down the pub the other night, well actually I go down every night!  A big storm was on, I couldnt help noticing that the rainbow ended on the pub Guinness sign......later on that night I won the local sweepstake of the boxing that was being shown....it was a sign! 

Meanwhile in Mojacar summer is well and truly on the way, it's lovely and warm but thankfully not hot!

I took this photo of a passing tug this morning, the sea is dead flat. 

Meanwhile back in my old hometown of Manly the commuters and tourists have been getting a great ride across Sydney heads on the Manly Ferry. 

It was one of the trips you could never get bored of, we used to love it, the rougher the better. 

Meanwhile back up in the villa, Sammie is just being Sammie.
