Been a long time.

Life is getting back to normal for us after our travels to US, Canada and Africa. Evan is coping much better after the death of his girlfriend. He came home to pick up some of his stuff a few weeks ago and I was relieved to see him smiling and joking. It was hard for him though to go back to the flat that he had only just given up, and with so many memories of his girlfriend in it.
I am going to Melbourne this weekend for my cousin’s 60th birthday and will see Evan there too. All my friends and cousins are turning 60! And I have a brother who is 70. That I can’t believe!
Husband has injured his back again. I can’t believe that after all the travelling we did in Canada and then all the terrible roads we drove over in Africa, which didn’t cause him any problems, 2 weeks home and he went to take something from the fridge and his back went into a spasm. He’s been having physio for the last 3 weeks which helped only slightly. Today he saw the specialist, who advised another cortisone injection, then back on the exercise programme again to see how he copes. If it’s not any better, he may have to have it fused. Not sure how we feel about that. I’ll have to research it on the net. But if it relieves the pain it would be an option.
When in Canada we mailed 4 parcels back home, and only received the 1st one yesterday. Apparently there was a mail strike in Canada so goodness knows when we’ll get the others. As long as we do get them, because there are souvenirs and photos in them.
OK I promise to post some photos and hopefully some video of our trip in the next entry. I haven’t even had time to look at the videos yet.

Bye……
