So there’s been a hiatus in my proceedings recently.  

I’ve missed sending you my weekly eZine for over 2 weeks now.  

I had “fallen off my perch 🦜” as the phrase goes!  I’m now recovering from a chest infection which turned into pneumonia which, as you know, is ‘nasty’ to say the least.

Strong antibiotics, rest and a few days in hospital later and I’m now home and ‘in recovery’.

As a woman Amanda you’ll know that now comes the tough part.

> Staying OUT of the game.  

> Being on the side and NOT the middle of things.  

> Letting OTHERS do things for me rather than batting them off.  

> ENCOURAGING my sweet husband Snowy with his fledgling nursing skills rather than expecting him to be telepathically connected to my own 🤭

So a short and sweet missive to you today Amanda and a reminder to be FIERCE with yourself and your energy when you need to recover… it could be from cooking Christmas Dinner all the way to having been ill.  

We need to be tough with ourselves…it is, after all, the exact advice you’d give to someone you care about isn’t it?!

Onwards, slowly for me though 😉

Or in someone else’s words…again…

 And in other news…

Our hounds have definitely been discombobulated with all the comings and goings from our home BUT with support from family and friends, they’ve actually had a very sociable and relaxing time, unlike us!  But that’s OK, it will come…
