One of the most unusual names I have ever come across

Thank you

Firstly I would like to apologise for the delay in posting this entry but I have not been able to actually gain proper entry to the site for a few days although posting through and from flickr went without a hitch. Huh…

Also both my parents have been sick recently, my father was hospitalised with a serious chest infection and fluid on the lungs as a result from a leaky valve and my mother has had a serious bronchial attack as a result from the recent heavy rains and getting soaked one too many times. So I have been running around like the veritable blue arsed fly taking care of them and running to and from the hospital and all. I think I need a holiday to recover from my Christmas holiday. Thank goodness that Mum and Dad are recovering nicely.

I would like to thank spikespet7daisychain1957
tarlanxand wild7orchidfor the delicious celebration gingerbread men V-gifts the have sent me. I just have to decide what to name the quartet. ;-)

Also a big thank you tofanarts_series and wild7orchidfor the beautiful Christmas Tree V-gifts and aadarshinah or the snowman.

I would also like to thank the rest of my friends for their greetings and well wishes over the Christmas and New Year holidays.

Thank you all so much

And HAPPY NEW YEAR
