I'm sorry to have to report that Tina is back in hospital. My lovely girl has been waiting for an operation to fix her tummy problems but the 3 weeks predicted by the surgeon looks like turning into 12+ weeks and in the mean time her weight has dropped to 49Kg's and she has become so week that we doubt her ability to survive a major op.

Her friends have been fantastic in their help and emotional support and I thank every one of them. With this help I'm sure that she will come through. At least the hospital is taking her case seriously and are determined to get to the root of trouble.

Meanwhile I'm keeping myself busy with new or reworked pictures and the flower project is coming on well. In the garden our wet warm summer has got everything growing but none so fast as the weeds and grass. Work on clearing the debris left by the fallen trees a month or so ago is at last showing results and I hope that when Tina comes home it will look like home once again. Bermagui has a major concert program this Easter weekend with the Four Winds Festival and various arts programs right through the long weekend. Those of you who are here will really have a lot to enjoy. Cheers - PeterC
