also, i read somewhere a while back (before i even had a computer) something like:

"i suggest prune juice for a cold. it may not cure you, but you will think twice about sneezing!"

anyhow, in lieu of a singing telegram, i hope that all brings a smile.

feel better soon, and i hope the computer thing is sorted out soon.

I've never seen that message before? but yes it was Mike Oldfield's Moonlight shadow juxtaposed with Beethoven's Moonlight sonata.

I love the moonlight sonata, I found the score many years ago in a charity shop and painstakingly tried to learn it, but only managed the first few bars.

I realize that sounds like I have a vague understanding of how to play the piano to start with, but in truth me attempting to learn the moonlight sonata is a bit like trying to walk to the moon.... I got to the foot of a mountain and felt dizzy, the clouds fell from the sky as she turned my way, I look so far, and saw everything - falling and spinning I laughed as she lay me sleeping wrapped in shimmering white sheets. :)

and just because we are talking about the moon:-

Oh attempting the moonlight sonata was years ago, but I haven't died yet so there may still be time.

I left out my favorite 'moon' song yesterday, I doubt there would be many who could say no....

thank you agnes. i'm breathing a little better today. these grade school viruses are hard on me.

I have mucho catching up to do. a very enjoyable task :)

My laptop is better except that I am locked out of FB. I honestly think that's where my troubles started. I can still access FB on my mini ipad. in a very mini way, lol.

I've missed everyone. look forward to catching up.
