Hi Ry,

You continue to give good blog;I think you should convert your blog to a book when you return.

Paul has an appointment 27th April for an MRI scan of his spine but he is gaining in strength and his moral is a little better.

It will be the 5th Anniversary of James 'death on 20th April, so if you are near a cathedral or church please light a candle for him.

US sounds very interesting, but take care accepting drinks, ensure that there is not an opportunity for them to be spiked!

Lots of love

Hi Ry,

Paul came home a week ago; he is still very weak but the nurse took his 50 staples out today, so that's some progress. She has been visiting daily to give injections and take blood for various tests.

Hope you are keeping well. Do you know yet if Ciara will be able to join you?

Sorry I spelt her name wrong a couple of messages ago but my friend has a daughter named Kiera and with all the hospital visiting I was very tired and writing on auto pilot.

Lots of love

Continue to enjoy yourself and keep up the high standard of blogging.

Love you lots
