Hello is anybody there??

Hiya Caz ~ sorry you are still here and still feeling awful, and that isn't said without care and concern, even if 'sorry' seems a bit of a limp word. You must be feeling summer's around the corner and you cannot feel your lift arriving at all. I suspect you are far from alone. When one is seriously bad it's almost impossible to post ... I used to visit and just read.
I am sure there are many in our number who are the same.

There have been years when I have still been awful at the beginning of May, I have no idea why that happens Perhaps this is the way you are at present. I trust that your summer is closer than you could possibly imagine, and that one morning it will give you such a lovely surprise.

Fortunately, I have thrown my six and have got out of jail*, and I can still hardly believe it, it has been such a long winter, I could almost swear it's been a lifetime......

(*To our friends across The Pond, this comes from the board game Monopoly in which one can land on a certain square representing jail... the only way out is to throw a six with the dice...or is it a 'die' in the USA? I just mention this as someone questioned the meaning of the phrase sometime last year!)
