Baby, crafting, more baby, then probably more crafting. NOW WITH ADDED CANCER! Two-thirds of the way through. So , I’ve just come through chemo 4 of 6. This one, Docetaxel. Wasn’t so bad, at all, compared to the FECs, which were foul, on mature recollection…. Always puts me on edge. For after this evening’s barbie. We went to the Wiltshire County Show. So, all in all, not so bad. Feck off, FEC. Anyway, the tumour has shrunk by about 50 % on first 2 FEC sessions. As I keep telling people, this tumour is m...

A slightly demented but yet oddly positive perspective of Greek life from an expat American/Irish point of view. Thursday, October 21, 2010. It was a dark and stormy night. This post was written the day before yesterday. I didn't post it because the three times I tried, the electricity went "poof! And stayed off until I'd shut down and unplugged everything computer, so I gave up. Today seems to be working, so just imagine that it's two days ago, OK? Or reading and writing by rechargeable flashlight].

A slightly demented but yet oddly positive perspective of Greek life from an expat American/Irish point of view. Saturday, December 10, 2011. Getting into the Christmas spirit. Today, in spite of the rain, my friend Samantha and I went into town to see the shops and get into the sights and sounds of Christmas time in Corfu. Monday is a Corfu public holiday (St Spiridion's Day) and sort of officially the start of Corfu's Christmas Holiday Season. It was just a fun, silly day and we had a marvelous time.

T is currently winging his way to Chicago to have his eye fixed in the US as opposed to here in Greece. It seems he may have another. Detached retina. (ah genetics). He had one in 2005, and had it taken care of in New Mexico, where I was at the time staying with my mother. T had his surgery the day before Christmas 2005. So that's it f...

A slightly demented but yet oddly positive perspective of Greek life from an expat American/Irish point of view. Monday, December 5, 2011. The "eye's" have it. So T's appointment was this morning (US time) in Michigan, and, sadly, after a thorough eye exam, the conclusion was: it was not a false alarm. Indeed the symptoms told the story and it IS a detached retina. I read somewhere, online, that strongly nearsighted people have weak retinas. Who knew? Supposedly it affects about 1 in 10,000 people. It wo...

And so the last of Izmir and continuing on to Istanbul. Sorry I've stupidly done something to my arm/shoulder, and so typing has not been a priority the past few days. (Muscle spasm leading to pinched nerve. yes, ouch! We took advantage of the beautiful day and sat at Konak Pier. Iconic Izmir clock tower. The next day w...
