Hi, Johno. Great to hear from you again and good to know you still have that positive outlook on life despite all its vicissitudes. 'Good on ya' mate. Hugs for Mary and Cathy. Geo. Hello folks Life goes on much slower than I would like but I am getting used to the fact that my eyes are now deteriorating fairly fast. I was warned by the Consultant that I may lose my sight altogether in the near future. What I do mostly now is to listen to the radio. I have a smallish radio and using headphones so that I don't interfere with anyone else's quietness I am keeping well up to date with things in general. Sorry I cannot write to you very often and send messages personally, but that is that. We are enjoying some beautiful weather and although I don't see a great deal I enjoy the rides out in the car. Cathy is the chauffeur and my eyes when anything crops up. I have been unable to do any gardening for several years but the girls have been able to fill six tubs with annuals. At least I will get the scent of some of them. Most of the rest of the garden is lawn and flowery shrubs etc so tubs are a good idea, especially where there are cats around to hoike out the flowers you have just planted. (We have a smallish band of marauding neighbourhood cats who love to inspect our garden at night and leave their calling cards.) What with them and the hedgehogs sometimes the garden resembles a battle ground. I have enclose a couple of pictures of our spring alliums which Cathy and Mary assure me look lovely and colourful. Cathy keeps me in contact with the list by reading messages out to me sometimes. I often have a good laugh about your doings. I will write to you sometimes to keep you abreast of my progress. A lady from the nursing community association is visiting me on the 16th. I visit a Consultant on the 7th July at the Low Vision Clinic. Whether they can help me I don't know. I hope you are all keeping fit and well and I will write again soon. Cheers Johno.

Hi Johno, AM so glad to see your message to the List, we all miss you so very much. Glad to see that you are getting out in the car with Mary and Cathy, and I'm hoping that there is some truth in the fact that if one of the five senses fails you the others compensate and improve, so that your smell and hearing will improve, one to hear the birds and the other to smell the beauty of your Roses and other flowers and the smell of the freshness after the rain.I have not forget the sense named Feel .. hope that improves a million-fold so that you will always, every minute of the day, FEEL the WARMTH of all the Family, Trivvies,and other friends from all around the world even when you are asleep, so you awake each day with that glowing feeling, you have taught us so much over the years, we are so glad that your Michael chose OUR LIST to put you on. Love and Hugs Marlene ````````````````````` Hello folks Life goes on much slower than I would like but I am getting used to the fact that my eyes are now deteriorating fairly fast.
