You'll get there, Ellie. Look back just a few days and you'll see that even the best of of us make mistakes and are swiftly correct by Anna. I see you got in ahead of me on 'Talon'

Erratic-kleptomania

Happy to be confined to the house today because the rain is p----- (sorry) pelting down. A hot chocolate would be good. Then some sitting down leg exercises (as recommended) before I try to added an other chapter to the historic epic. So glad I had it all written otherwise I met not have got it finished. Now there's progress--only six minutes to completed this short piece.

First of all, welcome back, Scott, those destinations sound fascinating. You were missed (well, most of the time)

Saturday again! Harder to believe it is seven days since the trauma but there have been nurses in every day to encourage legs exercises, dressing a wound from the initial fall, even checking how I managed in the kitchen (As my dear lady remarked, "Manage? He never could before") But the individual nurses were all very pretty, so who could complain about that? (Well my dear lady had another observation--but she was surely joking--wasn't she?)

Written words are still the biggest bother (it's take almost an hour to accomplish this 6 lines). But I hope that short practices like this will help. I managed to get Chapter 5 published yesterday--will try chapter six today. Not that anybody is reading it at that the moment--I will wait until I'm follow fit before at take offence. I know that many of you are bothered that. Stayed bright🙄!

Here's is a horror story (true)-I'm not looking for sympathy but I need to seek your understanding for any language errors I'm might make in the came days (weeks)---until my brain beings to function as normal.

Fact is, last Saturday morning after finishing breakfast, I suddenly past out and ended up under the table. Neighbours finally got me on a sofa until ambulance arrived-I knew little of what was going on. My senses slow arrived during the hospital journey. Arriving there, I was placed in a bed and a consultant was there immedately saying, "It seems you've had a stroke!" A stroke? Me?

This was where the horror began. The questions. "Tell me the months of the year?" Easy--"Er, December, hum May" Panic was already rising. "Try days of the week." Again--hesitation, little input. "What about your address?" Now that was simple, "One, Earlington Court" Only that was my previous address. I could not recall the address where I had lived for past thirty years.

So it went on, saying sensless things , mumbling odd words. Despite countless reassurances it was a horrific twenty four hours. Overnight I talked myself into getting months of the year in the right. Even found that a could recite me mobied phone number. Sunday went well on the way to get most things right, and all most slurring add gone. This was due to some medication which dealt with a rogue cell in the brain. Not out of the woods totally but nearer the exit

For any one who begun "THE HIGH AND THE HUMBLE" that us up to Chapter Four ( a really exciting chapter). It had been intention to produce a new chapter at least every other day. Circumstances have informed with that plan. But it was written ready for publication. So I get on with that as I recover I'm mojo

Welcome Cora--have already met you on puzzle pages but I'm sure you'll settle in here and I look forward to reading the Flash that breaks your witer's block (always a difficult time--I know it well).

Hope you've left some hot water in the kettle!

Oh-oh, a technical infringement! 3+3, 3+2, 2+3 or 2+2. Not 2+4! 🤣

O, woe is me. So small recompense:

Ran like a raging river.

RED oh antics of animals can't wait to read it

Might disappoint you, Sarah. These animals are very regimented. Could be stroked though, and often are. And as you will see below --the story begins. Such speedy verification is to be applauded.
