Time moves on apace.   Since I had a 'funny do' when we were on holiday in Oregon in September 2025, I have been diagnosed with Afib.  Paroxysmal Afib to be exact.  I had a hard time accepting it mentally but think I am there now.  I still hate the randomness of it though.  Since a super kind lady at church gabe me an Apple watch to track episodes, I have bought one for myself and have found that helpful.  At the current time, I am waiting to have a loop monitor implanted in my chest (insurance cover permitting).  That will monitor my heart continually and will remain in place for 3 years apparently.

Anyway, to less boring stuff.  I am learning to play the drums!!!  Emma bought me a drum lesson for my 78th birthday and I loved it so have continued with a lesson each week.  So far I have had 11 lessons and this coming Sunday will be doing a drum solo at a local church together with the rest of my teacher's pupils.  Am I good enough?  Nope.  Am I enjoying it?  Yup.  Cannot imagine how I got into this!  Ha ha

I have also entered the local ROYGBIV painting exhibition.  My color was yellow.  I have done one painting which I am not happy with at all so have started another.  Might even remember to post it here you never know.
