    It hasn't been a wonderful summer in many places.

    Hoping everything is okay beanielou? The last time you posted you were looking at a broken fence :(

    ((Hugs)) beanielou. I so understand that. I haven't mentioned it on my diary but I have to say I have been feeling the same. It's hard, but you have inspired me on so many occasions and so many people on here admire you as I do. Keep on plodding and being kind to yourself

    It's very scary, isn't it ... I do what I can, I fantasize about writing so much and so well that I solve all my money problems :)

    The backstop, though - downsizing more, even to a studio flat if needs be, though I'd much rather not :( Hope you can avoid the worrying and focus on healing xxx
