ABSENT

I'll be taking a short (I hope !) leave of absence while I spend some time in Hervey Bay with my family dealing with the sudden serious illness of my 90 year old Dad.
He has never been in hospital before in all his 90 years so it is all a new experience for him to be ill.

He has some serious challenges ahead but is facing it all calmly and is receiving good care.
Here's hoping we have a good outcome.

I hope from time to time I will still be able to check on how you are all going my Blogland friends.

Cheers
