It's Curtains Maria!...

Hello Dhaaarlings...

Good News!

Brother returned home from hospital today following more tests. He is not allowed to lift anything for 2 more weeks... They are not sure what caused his pain but the specialist doesn't think it was another heart attack and the shunt was fine when they checked it.

Bad News but will be good...

In other news I got a second opinion on my troublesome teeth. I require 4 extractions! 3 upper and 1lower resulting in extensions to an existing upper partial plate. Plus a multitude of other fillings and rebuilds.

I shudder at the cost but I cannot go on with teeth rotting out of my head.

On a lighter note...

The costumier delivered the fabric today...

Real Tab-Top Curtains Dhaaarlings!

And a hunk of calico...

Along with some pictures from the movie of the children in their costumes"To guide you" (assuming that I'm a straight bloke and have probably never seen sound of music and have no idea of what they are talking about) and a list of special instructions for the must have inclusions... Like...

Louisa... MUST HAVE HEAD SCARF - The captain pulls it off her head

I giggle with delight...

What's that I hear you saying about art imitating life? 

some people can be so concrete...

Breaking News....

Hello Dhaaarlings...

My younger Brother had another bout of Chest Pain yesterday evening...

He is back in hospital and being prepped for another angiogram tomorrow.

His Specialist does not think he has had another heart attack but there may be a minor blockage with the shunt in his coronary artery which they inserted back at Easter and there is some concern with high blood pressure being difficult to tame...

Other than That he is well...

So for the next few days it looks like I'll be back on deck full- time at his store

My Beaver will be extremely busy with Store all day and then Sewing into the wee hours

(I'm on a dead-line for the costumes people! the show opens on the 15th July)

Wish  him and me some luck!
