Spring

September 1st, 2009

DaffidolsDoes fine weather make you feel better?

When it returns I’ll let you know if I feel better.

That is unfair because August was warm and dry here, shame September hasn’t started off that way.

I know there have not been regular posts for a while but as some of you know and others may have guessed from the last post G1 was diagnosed with type one diabetes at the end of May.

This was very stressful. She requires ongoing care and medication to keep her alive. This is quite a burden for her and us.

But we are coping a lot better now. So maybe there will be some more time for blogging.

I hope this gardening year to keep a running record of our vege garden, which could be used as a resource for others. So keep watching because I have already begun planting.

Book reviews will return but not as regularly. I think I’ll review books as I read them. Diabetes may even make an appearance.

The above photo was taken in our garden this morning. We have a marvellous display of daffodils at the moment, reminding us that spring is really here.

Diabetes

Front CoverOur daughter has type 1 diabetes. Here is a good book on diabetes that has deeper explanations than a lot of other literature we have read.  It is on Google Books here.

There are also a few podcasts and YouTube videos that I have found on the internet.
