Hi Zeliha!  It's lovely that you are back.  Did you have to go to China for work?  I was concerned for you as you had been ill before you left.  I'm doing ok, a few health issues, but nothing major.  We had a lovely 3 week holiday in Losheim a few weeks back.  It's hard being back though.  We thought it would be our last EU holiday because our travel insurance is now about the cost of another holiday (now I'm over 75, I'm considered more of a risk healthwise.  However, the owners of our apartment were so lovely, my husband booked another 3 weeks next year - he did manage 4 football matches (in Luxembourg, we were very close to the border) including the Luxembourg FA final at the National Stadium so he was well pleased with that.  Hope it was a nice trip to Chinaxx

Hi Zeliha, just popping by, hope to hear from you before too long.  xx

Hi Zelliha, thank you for your lovely words - I have to hold my hand up though - I was active in my 20s and 30s, less active at 40,50 and 60, but sadly, in my 70s, hardly active would be a good phrase - I would rather sit and read these days (as well as going on holiday whilst I can.)  The lovely nurse practitioner who looked after me yesterday called me today as she remembered I was going away this weekend and was concerned about me flying - she was much relieved once I said we are only driving to Gloucester.  I was impressed by her dedication though. Have a peaceful nightxx

Hi Zeliha, nothing really to worry about, my leg swelled up last week so popped to our local hospital, had some pokes, prods and bloods taken, returning today to confirm and further tests for DVT (confirmed), am now on a treatment pathway and leg is going down by the day.  Partly my own fault, I have arthritis in my pelvis and sometimes it flares up so itls painful to walk.  I have been sitting reading and playing games on the laptop instead of going for a stroll.  Have more bloods next week and monitoring henceforth.  Hoping for recovery before our trip to Losheim in May.  Thank you for your lovely message.  xx

Hi Zeliha, I am so pleased you checked out Morris dancing. You are right in thinking it has similarities with local dancing in your country.  It all mainly stems from Pagan times and as in many countries, our Counties have many different dances, so use sticks, some hankies, clog dancers have 'mollies' little sticks with bells either end and 'garlands' (hoops). I started dancing in the late 1970s in my late 20s and am quite proud that we were one of the first women's morris sides in the country - the side still exists, but no longer dance morris, but clog (changing traditions). I have always loved dancing (a guilty pleasure is watching the group BTS dance - shhh!), but didn't dance again for over 40 years, then in my 70s, I made the crazy decision to join a local side and really loved doing it for 2 years before my arthritic hip decided enough was enough.  I also prefer watching women's football, as you say, the crowd is much better, but I find that women's playing attitude is also good on the pitch and they are great role models for today's young girls.  My 15 year old has it in spades, her hair is long and scraped back into a ponytail and hairsprayed in place when she plays - trou
