Not being able to do all the things I want and usually do these last few weeks, has really made me think about my health – as it has been and how it might be in the future. I can see how eating a healthy and well balanced diet really does help but I still have to make some changes and I really want to put some weight back on. So I have formulated a plan for the summer months and I intend to stick to it! Continue reading
I feel as though I have been on an uncomfortable rollercoaster these past several days -I have been in a bad way! My joint problem appeared to be improving – great news! However, an unfortunate side-effect of the Co-Codamol gave me equally as much pain and discomfort, in fact so much discomfort that I will never take a Co-Codamol again, for as long as I live!

It’s been a worrying few days since I wrote in my last post that my friend Jackie was going to take me to the Doctor in Kalives. We went first thing Thursday morning and I was so relieved that Jackie came with me. She can vouch for this doctor because she has also had to consult him on something a few months ago.

In my last blog I mentioned that I hadn’t been out much lately but on Saturday I was in the mood for socialising with friends and enjoying a few glasses of wine. So at 6.30pm I kicked off the evening at my local Taverna, Vangeli’s. I had a couple of glasses of wine and a bite to eat whilst catching up with all the local gossip. Everyone was relaying where they were and what they were doing when the earthquake struck the Saturday before! Continue reading
OMG there was an earthquake here on Crete today! I was working at my desk when everything started shaking! But it was the ground moving underneath me that was really frightening! It seemed to go on for ages and was the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen or experienced. Continue reading
It has been a few weeks since my last post and this is because I have been having a wonderful time with my two gorgeous daughters, Zoe and Emma and Emma’s boyfriend, Ash. Although Emma and Ash were only in Crete for a week we crammed as much fun and enjoyment into that week as was possible! Continue reading
