Well, that was not a good night of sleep. Insomnia knocked at my door, overnight, and I seem to have let it in. This time, I can account for it. This was my own fault, for I went to bed earlier than usual and forgot to take my last dose of medications; including those which…

Morning Indulgence
This is how my Saturday, yesterday, started: It is fair to say that my day does not begin until I have coffee. It is also fair to say that insomnia has caused me to lose track of whether it is morning, afternoon or evening in recent months but, thankfully, my insomnia is diminishing. I have…
Red Thai Curry
Another fabulous dish from Kitchen Sanctuary, I can’t recommend there website enough for amazing, tasty dishes.

Ingredients 1 tbsp vegetable oil 1 onion peeled and chopped…

Flowers
I love flowers and in our cottage, we always have beautiful fresh cut flowers. Even if it is one tiny bunch bought from a garage or a couple of flowers from a garden shrub, flowers are part of life. Our home is filled with flowers and interesting houseplants. I thank friends and family who have…
S.O.S.
Something rather splendid has happened. Although it is far from perfect, I achieved the singing of a song which has operatic elements in it. The song; ‘SOS D’un Terrian en Detresse’ is a hugely challenging piece to sing, let alone for someone with Parkinson’s. I am personally delighted with the achievement of this song and…
