It IS nesting season after all. But we really wanted to get you a Corn Bunting!

Thanks. It's a nice touch grabbing one with its mouth full.

I am fine, just some bruising and a slightly pulled left shoulder. Since Dad previously pulled his right shoulder, and we are a team, between us we have one fully functional person.

This is the kind of conflict-zone-style photojournalism the grampies are famous for eh! Hope mom is okay though…

Definitely NO falls while you are travelling. We insist on you returning in the same, or better, condition as whenmyou leave.

We have already forgotten we were there, but we have memory issues so that's not a surprise. One of many good reasons to keep a blog. Thanks for the Washington Irving book recommendation. Good for winter reading.

Hi Grampies... Sorry to learn about all your travails, as I'm just now reading your journal. Your perseverance is remarkable! My granddaughter and I visited the Alhambra in 2008, and we still reminisce about the Generalife. An interesting book is Tales of the Alhambra by Washington Irving.

Thank you, Nurse Dodie.. FYI, If I had not had a bone density scan I never would have known of this malady. Only child, no living relatives makes for a guessing game of “how/why”.. heredity and calcium loss equals the diagnosis. Being a real scaredy cat with the needle, the first option of daily (self) injections was nixed. Now it will be twice yearly infusions, beginning one week after our return from EU.. WITH NO fractures or breaks! I insist.

My mother had severe osteo, and my sister has been put on medication for it. Me, I seem to fall and bounce back up like a rubber ball. Maybe it missed me or I have just been lucky, but I am grateful to be out on the bike. Dodie

SO grateful that is “ all it is”!
Me? Not so lucky! My osteoporosis is so severe that the doctors warned me “IF I fall, I will shatter like a piece of glass”.. so, I will defy their orders and stay upright on the bike when we get to the Netherlands 🇳🇱.. ha!

A bit sore and some bruising but no other issues, really.
