Hi Heather,
Thanks for dropping me a line, actually I have been travelling to London, Malta for a week and am now in Rome, doing walking tours with my daughter.
London was busy with doing laundry, cooking, shopping and looking out fo9r 3 young children on school holiday what with the daurling baby Cadie aged 1 my hands are full, havent moved on from London yet, just booked a flight out of there on 30th october back to Hong kong then back to shanghai and then back to Perth on 7th Dec. readying the house for Xmas , daughter and son and their respective families will visit for xmas for 3 weeks.
Malta was a good break from the London rainy weather but the catholic feast days and nights were filled with canons booming and lots of fireworks noise, donàt ever visit there in the month of feast days. apparantly its feast day free in July but the weather is very hot, about 40 degrees every day, nevertheless we got good tans and lots of swimming.
currently in Rome, great boost for cathcing up on history, practically everybody has been here, the vikings, visigoths, romans, christians, and lts to see, i hopped on an open bus tour to see the city and will do some walking and shopping with my daughter tomorrow.
we return to London on sat. I hope to travel to Derby, Bath and Dublin to see friends before i leave. every year i promise to visit them but get so cuaght up in all the household chores, and thereàs plenty of them.
my diabetes flared up and i had to get strict with my diet and exercise again, what a drag.have to take blood samples soon to test my blood sugar and red blood cell count, another drag, i hope you are on top of your ailments girl, i have good health only when i remember to remember myself and how important i am to my family. you are a great writer and a good friend to all who know you, so take care of yourself, you only get one chance to live on this planet girtl. love you, and thank you for remembering me. hanvenàt had time to go on the site as my visits to an internet cafe are few and far between and Iàd rather spend the time writing individually to my friends like you.
love,
halyna
