Well I had an eventful night/morning just over 24 hrs ago..I awoke to sharp pain in my
chest..well really it was at the top of my stomach right through to my back..I thought
it was stomach cramps due to food poisoning because I also felt quite nauseous.. M was
thinking of heart attack.. after 10 mins it was getting worse and I was having trouble
breathing..think I was actually just panicking..so M called the ambulance at 2:30am
I told him not too.."what if it goes away shortly?, I'll look really silly calling them out"..
But it didn't relent..and they arrived in about half and hour..after several Qs and some
tests their diagnosis was gallstone attack... aaah so this is what it's like!... then the
morphine in a drip was a huge relief!! This was followed by my first trip in an ambulance
and nearly 5 hrs of tests and rest in hospital and the doctor's advice that I will need to have
my gall bladder removed.. so even though it won't be fun I would not like to have a repeat
of Thursday night..so will be getting it done as soon as I can...hopefully next month!
The above is one of 2 rock sculptures M made for the garden..this one is developing a
lovely aged green look after 4 years or so.. He was inspired to make them after we
did the 'Sculptures by the Sea' walk a few years back.. I love them and hope that when
other projects get finished he will spend more time making things around the place...

The camellia is in full bloom now and a joy to look at..I have been attempting to catch
a pic of the olive whistler which keeps visiting the flowers..but it is too shy and flies
away the second I get close enough..hopefully later today I'll get another chance..
..and I must thank the following boggy friends for their kindness in the last fortnight:
Thank you Pat from Mille Fiori Favoriti for this cute award
(originally created by Gail using her son, Alexander's cute drawing of her)
..and Thank you Suzanne and Christy for passing on this award
..and to Beth for the Tree of Happiness award:
I've only recently discovered Beth's blog ~ Cloth and Fodder but have really enjoyed
her posts ~ so many delicious things to see..she made the most gorgeous octopus
cake (among other yummies) and has an interest in carniverous plants.. :D
The award requires me to list 6 things that make me happy right now:
#1 Watching the Olympic Games Opening Ceremy and Jemma's excitement
at seeing so many countries represented and of course watching her
favourite sport of all - Gymnastics (probably my fave too)
#2 Watching and listening the native birds through the window..spring
seems to already be here for them..
#3 The yummy aroma of chocolate cake baking in the oven made by
Rhiannon and her friend Ella
#4 The sun and warmth streaming through the windows at the moment
#5 The strong coffee I'm sipping right now
#6 That I'm all ready for Shadow Shot Sunday given tomorrow's forecast
for bad weather..I have my shot ready to post :D
I would love to know what these bloggy girls are happy about:
Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoriti, Tracy @ Hey Harriet, Christy @ Sweet Tidings,
M.Kate @ La Vie Est Belle, Sandra @ Bubble Babble and Karin @ Ute och Inne
Many of you will have already seen this clip on YouTube..it has had a lot of
hype recently..but just in case you haven't seen it..you MUST and it wouldn't
hurt you to have a box on tissues on standby!! Thank you Sandra for sharing! :D
LAST but not least I was recently blown away by the amazing dragonfly pics
that Kitt and Fishing Guy managed to catch..I'm sure you'll be impressed too..
