LivingLife website

If anyone has a lifelong medical condition and wants to get good advice, go to www.livinglife.gyw.nhs.uk. It's a local east of England site but you can sign up and e-talk with other people with the same condition. And get linked up to NHS Choices etc and lotsof other good health sites. Actually it works for temporary ill health too. My partner Steve has started to get strange 'floaters' in one eye, so I checked it out online and though he still went for an eye test, we knew in advance that it wasn't too serious.
Does 'eyeonspain' need a health section or does lifestyle cover it???
It's nearly midnight and the man is asleep but I have only just managed to get connectivity, hence tapping away at this late hour. We went to Bury St Edmunds in glorious sunshine this morning, then flew across to Great Yarmouth tonight to share a pint with about 200 other bikers at The Swan. Some great bikes on show: Aprillia, Ducati, Buell, MV Augusta, lots of R1's, Triumphs, Harleys (a bit agricultural...!) and all the Japanese models. I sound so knowledgeable but really only go by the aesthetics and the engine sound. Steve understands the mechanical side of things! We lost the gear changing facility on the Guzzi about 10 miles from home but he managed to cruise us back in 3rd all the way - I barely noticed!
The euro fell against the pound a little yesterday (87.5p) but has rallied a tiny bit today. We are watching closely and hoping it will fall to 85 before we do major money moves...difficult times for many people. Ah well, back to the kitchen. Better start practising my tapas!
Goodnight.
