The latest on our roller coaster happenings is my oldest brother, who is only 62, has had a stroke. The good news is that it was a mild one and physio should have him back to reasonable health. Hopefully he will take this as a warning to ease up on his horrendous work schedule and plane journeys. As always I am sat feeling useless when things happen to family so far away. He lives in Shetland so it's not a case of popping on a bus to see how he is faring.
It is also raining here most of the time which is posing a real problem with our renovations, I suppose I should feel glad I am not a farmer trying to make a living in this. I do think that the rain has swept away my mojo so this is a very simple get well card, but reflects the fact that I am so very pleased to hear his voice at the end of the phone.
On a lighter note Ezra is on page3 having a long conversation with his robot, in between beating him up, lol. Hope you are all well or on the way to a good recovery and having a bit more sunshine than we are.
Hugs to all, Flora.
Fabulous image and card Flora.
ReplyDeleteGlad your Brother is not too bad.

ReplyDeleteGreat card, love the image and design.
Sorry to hear about your brother, I do hope he takes this as a warning to slow down.
Horrible weather here as well, however Hazel and I are escaping to what we hope are warmer climes later this afternoon.
Glad Ezra is progressing, they are such a joy to watch even if "beating" is involved!!

Good morning Flora, I am just catching up with everyone's blogs now. I hope your brother does slow down on his work load after this little warning, it is horrible to be so far away from family at times like this. Well Patricia, Elaine and I did think we had brought the British weather with us when we landed here in Turkey, but thankfully it decided to be good and we are all enjoying the warmth and sun shine. Sorry I meant to say what a great get well card. You take care ((((hugs)))). Hazel xx
ReplyDeleteHi Flora, I love the beautiful card you made for your brother. I am so sorry to hear of his stroke and I hope he recovers fully very soon.
