A bit of kulcha

  

I went to see the Picasso exhibition at the gallery last week and thought it was wonderful.  At any exhibition my downfall is always the shop at the end, though this time I limited myself to a story book and stickers for Emma and a notebook for a friend who should have been with me but had a death in the family so couldn't come to Sydney.  The gallery was teeming with people - I'd never seen it so busy.  Not everybody was looking at Picasso as we now have timed entry, which is good, but they were eating in the restaurant or visiting various other things.  Lots of groups of school children were being shepherded by their teachers.  Makes me glad I'm no longer a teacher...too much like hard work.


Have been going to a physiotherapist a couple of times a week lately with a right arm problem since my fall months ago.  A scan shows I have torn a tendon and, according to my GP, torn tendons never heal - a piece of information that really shocked me, as I had kept on thinking it was taking a very long time but would surely get better eventually.  The physio agrees with this but can work miracles to ease the pain and make movement less difficult.  She, however, was of the opinion it's not so much the torn tendon causing problems as the computer!  She's given me lots of exercises to do and warned me to always use my left hand on the mouse!!!  I tell you, that is easier said than done!!  Have you ever tried it?  Next to impossible.

Oh poor you. Roy tells me you can buy a left handed mouse from Amazon - a bit expensive but worth the money if it is going to make your injury easier. On the other hand you can go to your control panel and click on mouse to change your mouse into a left handed one for the time being. These things come to try us don't they. We have a left handed grandson!
Glad you enjoyed the exhibition - I am not into Picaso -
the other Spanish artists Goya, Dali, Miro and the amazing Velasquez are more appealing to me. xxx
