Sorry that I haven't been in touch sooner. We;ve just had the most terrible heatwave in decades. Day after day of blistering temeperatures in the 100's-- it was like some hellish nightmare. Not just me personally
yffected, but people collapsed (and died) through heat exhaustion, trains were cancelled because the lines buckled in the heat, bush fires started, homes, etc destroyed. Ladies, it's been bad.!!
My poor cats, I felt so sorry for them, but couldn't do much more than make sure they had shade and cool water to drink.
But some good news too.! My new little grandson arrived to Darren and Jenny in Sydney on Jan 30th. They're both well. He was a big boy, over 4 kilo's, and has been named Douglas. Not what we expected, but a good Scottish name. Brother for Alexander, 4, and Ben, 2 1/2.
Tina, I hope they find the source of that terrible pain soon, and can do something about it. Sorry you have to have more 'mean'chemo, but I'm glad that you are being blessed with some good days.
Phyliss, are you okay? No news from you for a time.
Must cook the chicken in the fridge before it goes off!
Thoughs and hugs,
Ellie.

Ellie I have been thinking of you a lot. Our weather station on t.v. and also usa have been showing videos of the destruction from the heat in australia.I pray for all there that releif comes quickly.Personally I cannot stand much heat , I would have to sit in water all day or I would pass out.I hope the fires also die down as they certainly add to the heat from the weather.
Congrats on the new grandson!

Hi Ellie,

I am so sorry that you are having such extreme heat. My thoughts and prayers are with you for conditions to improve. It seems all over the nation that weather is changing and causing all kinds of problems.

I cannot stand the hot, hot weather we have in the summer time when we have a heat wave. Do you have an air conditioner or fan in your apartment?

The best news from you is the arrival of the baby.
I am so happy that your new grandson arrived and everyone is doing fine. How many pounds is 4 kilos?

I have been having trouble as I injured my right rotator cuff. First, I foolishly tried using the roof rake in December and it ached a little. Then on Jan. 1, I was out shoveling and later in the day had terrible pain. Went to ER and was told it was a torn rotator cuff injury. I am going for physical therapy. I still continue to watch my granddaughter, age 8 months and try to lift her with my left shoulder mostly.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.

Tina, we have been having lots of snow every week and it is piling up everywhere. It is hard to see beyond the snow banks.

Wishing both of you a good month.

Fondly,
Phyllis
