Hi Min good to hear Peter is feeling better and great that his back pain has eased up too Theres a lot to be said for sunshine, recently I read about a couple who moved to Italy just to get the relief the warmth gave them from their bone pain Not sure I would do so though , far better to take lots of holidays in the sun, I am not so tired all the time now and same as Peter the first week is not good Spreading out the dex is definitely helping and even my irritability seems less marked , I do still get that awful tenderness all over but its not as painful and lasts about 5 days. I know exactly what you mean about the sunshine showing up the dust I am desperately trying to clean the place up and fighting a losing battle at the moment !! The council are giving me a new kitchen and bathroom in a few weeks and they are doing both at the same time !!Aaargh !! I just hope I have enough energy to clean up after them Mind you I am looking forward to when its all done , they are even decorating both rooms as well which is a bonus as I cant do decorating anymore . Have a lovely time with your family , grandchildren are such a joy to spend time with arent they and I bet they cant wait to see you !!Heres to a good summer for all of us , forget the cleaning and get busy being a lady of leisure! I cant stop laughing at this post though as my birthday was in February , tee-hee lots of love Bridget x
