All In One Day. (Some Povey Silliness)

 6:00 a.m.   Walking Zion in the dark at the Nathan Benderson Park. I have one of those nifty personal headlights.

Why so early?   I had an ultrasound slated for 7:30 a.m. Walking the dog, going  home for black coffee, and a shower before the appointment

Ultrasound on time!   So far, so good.

Then the silliness began.

I am slated for the dreaded Dermatological "Red Light" procedure on Thursday 7th at 10:30 a.m.  My surgeon asked that I should have a close shave and get rid of my sideburns.

I have used the same Barber (Patrick) since I moved here. He has taken on a grandson as an apprentice.  Everyone wants Patrick to be the barber of choice.    I decided to give the grandson a whirl. 

He is a bit goofy and he went overboard.  Do you recognise me?"


It didn't end there

The three of you who read and enjoy my blog will remember that I recently had my wonderful chiming clock renovated.


Woe is me. Within weeks it stopped chiming and was erratic in time keeping.

I took it back to the Clock Gallery today.  The problem was resolved in minutes.  HOLD YOUR BREATH!

DUH!  I had neglected to wind it up.  Gosh darn it, who knew that a mechanical clock needed monthly  winding? Not I sir!

The staff were duly amused.  Very amused!

Now I hear the lovely St. Michael Chimes  (from St. Michael's Church, Charleston, S.C) where my great mentor, the Revd. DeWolf Perry was once the Rector.

Those chimes settle my soul every fifteen minutes. They calm me even in the middle of the night.

In a State of Shock. From 8:00 - 2:00 today

  Please no 'phone calls.  PLEASE!  (but this news is not private) At 8:00 this morning I took Zion to a local  Veterinarian for a scan of a mass on his jaw. By 12:30 the Vet phoned me with this shocking and unexpected news.  (see below)   How odd that a scan for a lesser issue should reveal the bad news.   I think that the scan was providential. I could have taken him home for what would have been his last two to three possible miserable days but I  decided to say goodbye to Zion there and then.  I stayed with him to the end at 2:00 p.m. I am in shock.  I am grateful for six fantastic years together.  I rejoice that he brought joy to so many people. His remains will be returned to me to be buried near my home, with a flowering shrub planted over them. Thanks for your care John Michael Povey Hello Michael,   I will show you the images when you arrive but essentially what we see on the CT is that he has multiple masses on his spleen and several in his lungs, additionally he has flui

Utterly Wonderful

  80 years equals family Fifty plus of us. My five remaining sibs and their spouses. Nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews. Cousins, second cousins, third cousins A joyful and relaxed family reunion. Super food. Great food for children with activities for them too, including face painting. This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.
