As you may have noticed, I haven’t written much over the past few weeks.

I just haven’t had the dead space.

My car broke down the Friday we were supposed to drive my beautiful, if completely scatty, Aura Dora dog back from Spain and we were repatriated through military airspace to combat the volcanic ash cloud last Tuesday.

On top of that I have been put back on antibiotics as my head became swollen and my wound festered and I have now secured an appointment with my ENT consultant for the morning.

Instead of harbouring on aobut bad luck I decided to leave writing anything until I could be a little positive and today is my beautiful sister’s birthday and that makes me happy.

I am so grateful for the support of my family and my sister who is so talented has helped me and helped me over the past years.

Happy Birthday to my wonderful friend. I love you.

I am in Spain again.

I came over on the ferry last Friday and will be here for a few more days until the ferry home with my lovely dog, Aura.

I have just been having a look at my bucket list for 2010 and seeing how much I am managing to achieve.

I am in the process of point 5 – to drive to Spain. We had a 24 hour journey from Portsmouth to Santander and from there an 8 hour drive to Javea, on the east coast where my boyfriend lives.

As he has been helping me through my operation and ongoing illness he is going to stay with me in London until our lives change around and so we have come back to get the house ready for in order to let it out for summer rentals and to hopefully make enough money for him to keep his home.

Being ill not only affects you but the amount of disruption that everyone who is close to you has to deal with can be immeasurable. My boyfriends’ mother has lived in his house for the past few years and so is having to pack up and move to London to stay with her other son too.

But we will get through it and enjoy the chaos that is part of life.

I am achieving another goal and that is to be celebrated.
