18:18 BS 8.7 about middle of the road for me this week so, just about a
so, so smile!
I hadn’t realised that it’s been 8 days since I last posted until I got an email from Barbara
@rebrascora with a PM message! The days had sort of run together!
😳
I haven’t had a bad bout ofasthma in a while until this week when I could barely move from the bed: JUST about managing to get up & cook for short bouts that would wipe me out during; mum in her last few years was always burning things when cooking as she couldn’t stand for long & would nip off to the living for a rest & watch TV! I didn’t burn anything but, nor could I, in italics, stand for too long either & had to pull a kitchen chair up to the cooker so I could sit while I cooked! My BS has been a bit erratic & my sleep even more so: slept when I could in short bouts as breathing was bad; there’s only so much inhalers I can take & it makes my heart race! But, just beginning to get better & I’ve turned a corner so, now, the last day or so, trying to get my sleep back into SOME kind of pattern: any will do while I stay awake for longer! But, even THIS bad bout didn’t leave me in bed 24/7 living on cold tins of soup like a previous bout: cooking in the kitchen wiped me out; still managed it though & understand better, when it’s too late, HOW mum kept burning things during her last few years!
I’m just up & finished breakfast before I started posting so, pattern is still off but, I AM staying awake for longer now as my breathing is starting to ease a bit! So, the only greeting, I suppose, I can give all you lovely lot is a Very Good Evening & hoped you all had a lovely day!

Read a lot of Agatha Christie Miss Marple while in bed, most of the time, & I do find it comforting especially, Miss Marple as opposed to Poirot!
😛 The ITV productions, Geraldine McEwan & Julia McKenzie, were excellent, in the main, but, the books are SO MUCH BETTER! Some I hadn’t read in 20+ years, as a teen when I borrowed them from the library, & surprised me upon reading them again, on kindle, as some of the TV productions went quite astray from the books!
😱 “The 4:50 from Paddington” was a delightful gem in which Miss Marple practically flirted with the detective inspector, the godson of the ex commissioner of Scotland yard she first met in the earlier case of “A Murder Is Announced”!
😛😎 Geraldine McEwan is my absolute favourite portrayal of Miss Marple across ANY film or TV production although many said Miss Marple isn’t actually as feisty or as sprightly & devotee’s say that Joan Hickson was the most accurate but, there IS cause for Geraldine’s portrayal in some of the books like the two mentioned above: “The 4:50 from Paddington” & “A Murder Is Announced”!
🙄 Sir Henry Clithering’s, ex commissioner of Scotland Yard, comments about Miss Marple are SO hilariously funny & spot on!
Oops!
😳 Better stop now as this post has rather run on a bit: nothing from me in over a week then, a great big long spiel of a post; famine & feast!
