But I'm back up to speed now, got a good re-scan result - "stable" - and have the final chemo session (for the moment) tomorrow, after which I'm signed off for three months.Ray Girvanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05556764642402680159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937414969460147900.post-71719056133034168522013-01-04T23:38:36.337-08:002013-01-04T23:38:36.337-08:00best wishes ... and keep those fingers dancing !best wishes ... and keep those fingers dancing !tristanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13268216095376583052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937414969460147900.post-72470941780702805822013-01-02T08:29:23.990-08:002013-01-02T08:29:23.990-08:00Wow, Ray!

I may ask you to help me figure out what the music in the bar scene at the end of Vladan Nikolic's movie, "Love" was. It's some sort of insane but rivetingly fascinating Serbian stuff like nothing I'd ever heard -- and my first thought after hearing it was, "Ray will know what it is ...

As far as is known, the cottage:<br /><br />"... was originally a sail loft and later a coal shed, In 1920 it was converted into a house, the gables added and re-named "Wixels".
