On the mend
Finally...!
Five months have whizzed by and I have so missed not blogging but even so I just couldn't find the impetus to write. It just wasn't in me! As I mentioned in a previous blog post. I have a one tracked mind when something is worrying me so there was no room for anything else 😒
All I could think about were the numerous health issues that were bombarding me and the three ops I had pending.
I am now convalescing from the first and second op and waiting for the date of the third one. I am so relieved that I am on the mend now. As for the op which is pending it is just vascular surgery to get rid of some unsightly varicose veins and I am not worried about that.
All the same I have been lurking quite a bit here flittering from one blog to another keeping up-to-date with what you are all doing. Therefore this will not be a lengthy post as I want to start posting on all your blogs to let you know I AM BACK ✋
Yesterday we finally returned to our Sunday outings routine and we decided to visit Villajoyosa. We haven't been there for quite sometime; years in fact. I call it the chocolate town as it is famous for its chocolate specially drinking chocolate. I am on a diet at present so I couldn't partake of their scrumptious hot chocolate this time but we have promised ourselves we will be going back soon to have some delicious "chocolate con churros".
Villajoyosa was at one time just a tiny fishing village but it has become very popular with the tourists and has grown considerably due to its proximity to Benidorm, a very busy and internationally well-known tourist resort.

DeleteYou keep well too, and best wishes for the third surgery. Villajoyosa (such a happy name) looks lovely, and that chocolate ... words fail me. It looks amazing. Hopefully next time you go you can indulge.
ReplyDeletethank you :-). Can't wait! It really is something to look forward too. :-)
DeleteHi Amanda, I'm so glad to see you back. I had just said to Dennis a few days ago when I hung your beautiful gift to me in it's new spot in our new condo, that I was a bit worried about you since you hadn't been around blogland for awhile. But, I'm so very sorry to hear that you've had medical issues happening. I do know that they make life miserable sometimes. Take care, and I'll be glad to see you post again soon.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,
Betsy
Dear Betsy. Getting better slowly these things take awhile but at least I feel more myself now. Have to do catch up now as I have neglected all my blogfriends tch! A x
DeleteLovely to see you posting Amanda and I'm so pleased that the dreaded ops are (bar one ) out of the way and that you are on the mend. That chocolate looks yummy and beautiful photos. I have just got back from a week in Benidorm it was lovely to see the sunshine and feel a bit of heat, the weather was perfect. I haven't blogged for ages either I seem to have lost my mojo but I will get back to it one day. Take care xx
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you pop up on my blog roll Amanda .... hope you recover well from your other surgeries & all the best for your upcoming one. Take care xx
ReplyDeleteI think I have been to Villajoyosa, in fact I'm sure I have. It looks familiar. We went by train one day while staying in Benidorm. So pleased you are back to blogging, Amanda. Stay well!
