My stay in Naples has come to an abrupt halt, and I am on my way back to Australia to meet a tall, dark, competent orthopaedic surgeon. Talk about your drama queen, eh?

Oh my, I have no idea where you are living since I don’t see any recent post. I am so sorry about your bum elbow and having to use your no-dominant hand. It must be a real beyotch as they say. You have been liking some of my comments and I’m sorry not to have followed up with you. I appreciate all the likes. I stay pretty limited in energy and sometimes it is time but mostly energy that keeps me from blogging as I would like.
I hope by now that you are mended and if your are still in Australia don’t let that keep you from blogging. Australia, from what I’ve read and seen via photos and is quite diverse and has many beautiful and interesting areas.
Take care.
