Awards............

I can't believe I got an award!!! I'd like to thank my husband, my mother, my father, my brothers, my kids, my grandkids, my friends, my hairdresser, my agent and anyone else who knows me. Bwaaaahhhhhhh, sniff, sniff, bwaaaahhhhh.

No seriously now, Josh at The Gabbatha Journey has very kindly awarded me a Thinking Blogger Award. Ok, he said it's more because myself and another british blogger have put him on the International map rather than I get him thinking about the universe or anything. Nevertheless, I will display my award with pride.

I now need to bestow this award on other bloggers who make me think rather than just ones I like. Let me think!

Annelisa - Words That Flow
This was one of the first blogs I started to read. She has such wonderful pictures of the countryside around where she lives, she writes poetry and is a budding author - she's just written a novel in a month! She makes me think about nature.

Claire - A Little Piece of Me
Claire makes me think so much it hurts my brain. She helped organise a Easter Egg Hunt to raise money for charity, which had quite a lot of bloggers racking their brains. Now I know you don't like Memes Claire but I wanted you to have this award.

Dave - Energy Healing
Dave makes me think about all things spiritual with his pictures and words.

Yazi - Seed a Brain
Yazi's posts are always thought provoking.

Ron - Foot Notes
I have only very, very recently found Ron's blog. He is very knowledgeable on many things - Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Reiki, etc., his posts are very informative and a joy to read.
Should you choose to participate, please make sure to pass this list of rules to the blogs you are tagging. The participation rules are simple:

If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to five blogs that make you think

Link to the original post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme

Optional: Proudly display the 'Thinking Blogger Award' with a link to the post that you wrote.

My knee

Tuesday 24th April

Giant Steps for me. Yesterday I began walking upstairs one foot in front of the other! I used the bannister and a crutch to help but this means my knee is getting stronger. Also this morning I actually stood up to take my shower. I still have to get in and out of the bath by sitting on the bathboard but this is a big improvement.
