Brilliant.

This painting is now finished.
Phew!!!
It has taken a long time.  The photo doesn't really do it justice as I have added lots of sparkles which don't seem to show up very well.
I am glad it is done but now it is on to the next project.
I am still not decided what my Christmas card will be this year.
I have had a few ideas but then they sort of fizzled out.
When the right one finds me I will know.

Eurovision was brilliant.
Skyping with Donna was an amazing experience.  I was able to see and hear the whole show.Donna,  Lauren and I were able to chat and laugh at Graham Norton together.
Donna said it was as if I were in the room.
I don't know if that was a good or bad thing, but everyone seemed happy.
All except the contestants that is.........ye gods there were some miserable songs this year.
There was a distinct lack of weirdos too.
But, as I have said before, it is not about the songs or the competition.  It is about us laughing at the rest of Europe taking this nonsense seriously while we couldn't give a hoot about where we come.
As it was, we were not far from being last.  I think we had 5 points but then France only 4 points and I believe Germany and Austria (the host nation no less) got bugger all.
Now if you can't see how funny that is then you had better go and sing a long with one of the miseries in the show.

Lastly.......Britain beware.
I know I have banged on about the health care here versus the NHS once or twice before but seriously.....look after your health service.
If you remember my friend had a slight stroke a couple of months ago.
Today I was helping her order the prescriptions that she now needs...blood thinners, heart medications etc.
At the end of the phone call she asked how much this delivery would be........$1010.   Yes...over a thousand dollars for prescriptions. In the UK, as she is disabled, she wouldn't pay anything.

She then told me the bill for her 6 day stay in the hospital, bearing in mind there were no surgeries just a couple of scans, most of the time it was just monitoring her and helping her get around.   The bill for the 6 days came to $92,000.  Yep 92 thousand dollars.....with no surgery or intensive care.

Keep your health service safe.
