Strange thing was that dizzyness was so brief and soon passed, and happily has not returned. I know not everyone is that lucky. Like you, Verbal, I found acupuncture most helpful and espeially when it was caried out by a vivacious oriental lady. I'm so glad you're on the bend, Cora.

Australia is full of variety. (Great to have you back, Elizabeth)

Series of rapid dizzy spells lasting only ten seconds each had me being hurried to the hospital for check-up. After several hours wait, much questioning, and a brain scan (when all they found was a tired, over-used old brain) , not having any repeat of the dizziness I was allowed to return home and now remain relatively normal. One thing I did learn after years of emergency treatments, is that if you are merely a "check-up" then waiting is part of the treatment, Arrival at hospital 3.00pm---return home 2.00am. Patience is essential., Although better safe than sorry is a useful maxim.

A hot chocolate and one of Sara's cookies would be most acceptable.

Reluctantly. I guess.

WYE Allow yourself to be hypnotised

Perhaps this dizziness will pass

My dear lady wouldn't allow it. Anyway, it wouldn't be a vacation without her.

WYE Purchase medication recommended on the internet?

It certainly appeals to me, Anna. And your snippets quite obviously come from wartime tales you were open to.

BTW Surely snippets don't need to be invited, and I'll wager you have a number of snippets that would be interesting. Thank you for the good wishes, Sarah, belated doesn't blank out the kind thoughts. I just fancy a couple of your star cookies now to go with a latte.

"It was a night, oh, what a night it was, it really was, Such a night (with apologies to the late Johnny Ray).

But it was so lively--what with the pasta, the pizzas and over 20 garrulous family members from young to very old. I had suggested that I was too old for any presents, but magically, bottles of single malt and a large packet of mixed licorice (which is another one of my other weaknesses) turned up. My oldest son gifted me a baseball cap bearing the logo,

"Not everyone looks THIS GOOD at 90", and coincidentally, without any prior awareness bought me a mug bearing exactly the same logo. Much reminiscing and small talk and two younger nephews asked what it was like in the war when I was their age. After horrifying them with the tale of being evacuated at age 6/7 I went on to reveal that after being taken home I began enjoying the war --tolding them of collecting shrapnel on the day after an air raid, store in shell fragments in a shoe box. So enjoyed their amazement!

All together a delightful night of fun and memories.
