and no X, Y, Z ...

Unfortunately I have not been able to finish the A-Z challenge.
 
As I went along I had to wonder if the Gods (well the one I have) were conspiring against me.

Both my daughters suffered severe tummy bugs, one after the other. In fact one vomited so much over a week that she burst the blood vessels in her eyes. Thankfully after she got over the initial shock she saw the funny side of things and delighted in trying to scare her friends last Wednesday at the school holiday by lifting her lids and showing everyone the bloody remains. All class kid! 

But whilst sleep deprived (why do they vomit through the night?) I was able to struggle along with the blog, just missing a couple here and there.
 
Then on Friday my older half-brother died suddenly in Melbourne and so of course it has been impossible to continue. I have been too shocked and upset to even think but I did want to do some of you the courtesy, that I know have been following along, of why I haven't and wont be finishing. 

I would love to honour my half-brother and tell you all about him but right now I can't, and I know you will all understand that.
 
Thank you to those who dropped by, I appreciated your comments more than you know and I really enjoyed checking out your blogs in return.

Maybe I will see some of you back again - I certainly hope so.

God bless, Lisa
