I understand that lots of chocolate cures it quite quickly!! Get well soon Maggi.

[Magnar]

All the best wishes to Maggi from me too.. Hope you will soon be ok again.

On the contrary, and believe me, it doesn't! Bed rest and staying dead still are best. If one moves, the room rotates around one's head and brings on major nausea.

Glad you're looking after our favourite lady Ian. You take care too.

[Joakim B]

Maggi al the best and a quick recovery.

Göte a view of the whole of Hjälmaren might be to much to wish for but maybe just a overview to see the over all effect of the waterlillies

Kind regards
Joakim

Leslie - You're absolutely right - chocolate and especially salt are major contributors to vertigo. This is one major debilitating affliction, had it for 3 years but gone now, excess salt ist streng verboten. The longitudinal tumble was even worse than the latitudinal spin. Even conversation makes it worse.

That's interesting that you had it for a time John, then it vanished. I had it for around 15 years and it became more and more frequent as a stress source built up. Then when that stress was removed, I had it one more time, then never again, so I always felt there was a psychological cause. It would come on with no warning except perhaps a slight feeling of uneasiness. I'd get up from a chair and fall to the floor. One day in town I fell over after wobbling around a bit, and was accused of being drunk! I almost certainly DO take salt (and chocolate) to excess but they've had no effects whatever, except round my waistline. Last had labrynthitis about 30 years ago. It is a beastly feeling and actually quite frightening.

Hopefully this virtual bunch of flowers will cheer you up!

Yes we sure need Maggi back on form, she is the glue that holds us all together.

Thought I had better get into this topic before July ends.  Just a few gems from my garden.  Sorry about the slight blur bottom R of most pictures.  Gunge on the lens but ofcourse I didn't notice it until I had uploaded everything on to the computer. Must try harder next time.

[shelagh]

Just a few more including some foliage which is looking good right now.

Beautiful plants and foliage.  Particulalrly like the Hebe and Ophiopogon - have not seen these varieties before.
Think you must have had more rain than we have - had our first rain last night for over two weeks.  Every day the local forecast promises showers and then moves the forecast forward a day.  Weeds do not seem to need rain to prosper!

Shelagh,

Great pics.  A lovely selection of thing in your garden now, although I suppose in summer that makes sense.  Seems so far away from us here at the moment in the depths of a strange winter!    So many nice things, but I rather like the look of the Gauldnettya, and although I am not familiar with the name I feel I should know it?  Is the flower as substantial as it appears in the photo?  What sort of size plant is it?  Rather cool looking!! 

[Kristl Walek]

One of my favorite plants to one of my favorites ladies...
All the best, Maggi!!!!
