of a relative.
Death of another – old age and plenty ailments.
Same time, auntie and uncle from Abroad been visiting too.
Wakes. Funerals [I go to one. On the day of the second one, I been so tired I flop down and snooze].
Teas and lunches and dinners with family.
Trip to the countryside, visiting folks, gyaffing...chatting...under a tree. Lunch at a grand ole estate house.
Collect plenty stories. Dissect, analyse, put together, dissect again.
Now, typing difficult. On Thursday I pull out long grass growing wild and free in a plant pot in the verandah. Hair or insect on grass sting, feel like fire-needles boring skin. Major allergic reaction.
Latest pastime - reading books; staring at fingers. Wish I can read me fortune in them itchy bumps. But all I can smell is Betnovate C ointment.

Thank you all, I will pass on your kind words to relatives.
Welcome Mickle in NZ and Blade Runner.
Eemanee, so good to see you too.
So very sorry about Camilla. I hope you can give each other comfort. And I hope your bite is better soon. The biters are prevalent just now and my face is white with camomile.
I am watching a programme tonight on BBC 'Lost land of the Jaguar' in the hope that I shall learn something of Guyana.
The Kaleteur Falls look magnificent. I think the object of the programme is to say to the world - this is one of the last wildernesses - we must help Guyana to protect it.
Pat, this is the programme, right? I wonder if I'll ever see it on local tv...http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/tvradio/programmes/jaguar/whathappenednext.shtml

So sorry to hear of the losses in your family.
Indeed in threes, the MIL of a blogger in Japan passed on the same day as your post.
On to lighter topics, "dissect, analyze, put together, dissect again"....isn't that "mek law, brek law"?
My dad used to use Betnovate for his psoriasis many many years ago.
I hope your fingers improve quickly.
And my mother watched that Lost Land of the Jaguar on BBC today also.
GG: yes that puts you through to a trailer. Someone called Chenette has done some awesome photos.
I did a small post about it this am.
I'm terribly sorry, GG. Please accept my condolences on your recent losses. How terrible that one of your relatives was murdered.
Wow, murder?
Hola amigo: quería invitarte que visites el blog que estoy realizando con mis alumnos de segundo año de la secundaria sobre LA DISCRIMINACIÓN.
http://nodiscrimine.blogspot.com
Tema arduo e interesante.
Seguro será de tu agrado.
Te invitamos que leas lo que gustes de él y hagas una opinión sobre el mismo.
Tu aporte será valioso.
Un abrazo desde la Argentina.
ohh, gg, I am so terribly sorry. shocking. Loss is hard no matter how it happens, but something like this is just soul-rattling.
Hi! Visit my blog: http://fiammaveneta.blogspot.com
Have a nice day!
GG, I'm late, but please accept my sincere condolences - to you and your family. How tragically sad.
fiamma veneta what the hell?
Sorry to hear about your loss.
I enjoyed the link to your local paper, some very good stories and I liked the way they were written. This phrase was very interesting......‘Bear yo’ chafe like Banwahree.’
Do you know what it means?
Truly a sad story. I'm sorry to hear that your cousin had to die this way. My condolences. Long time, GG. Peace~
Condolences on both counts. I also watched "Lost land of the Jaguar" - thinking of you! - your fascinating and beautiful country is full of violence and predators, both in the virgin jungle and in the city. Sorry it had to touch your family.
So sorry to read this GG. Lost a great uncle to murder a decade back. Nothing comforting you can say about having something like that happen in your family. And sorry about the other death and all the busy-ness. Tiring stuff!
Wishing you cool quiet gentle days.
How are you holding up GG? We're worried about you...
Missing you, GG. ((hugs))
wondering how ya keeping gyal. take care
I haven't read your blog for a while, so I decided to visit, and find it to be a sad time for you and your family. So sorry for your loss. It was nice to read all the blogging I have missed. Take care.
Weh you deh, gyal? Hope you're ok.
take as much time as you need. we're here when you come back. i'm very sorry to hear of your loss, especially one so violent. hope the people punish the ones responsible.
You would know the secret of death.
But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life? (Khalil Gibran)
Hi hon! Just popped in to say I think about you a lot.
condoglianze da scorzè
holding you close in my thoughts, GG. ((Hugs))
Guyana Gyal, you are very talented...your writing is so easy to read...you should save hardcopies of these blogs in a journal.
Ever thought of short stories?
You know my geography is rubbish but I sure hope the hurricane is nowhere near you.
Now that we know you're alive, how about you post something? Pretty please?
