Hi

Just a very brief post to say HELLO
I’m home on my first overnight leave and fully intend to make the most of un-limited internet and begin the enjoyable task of catching up with blogs.
Funny,
I’ve not really missed not having un-limited internet access, but I have missed blogging and can’t wait for my proper return in what hopefully won’t be too long now.

What can I say?
Not a lot. I don’t think it’s going to be helpful to anyone to try and explain what the last 13 weeks of my life have been like…
let’s just say I’m in a much better place right now, and looking forward to improving further and embracing the “real world” 100% when I come home to stay.

  62. Oh I just saw this!! It didn’t hit me that you had commented. Oh Laura you look WONDERFUL, like others have said, glowing and healthy.

    It was so strange, not being able to communicate, thinking I could only use text but not having text on my phone.. anyway, hope you had a great ‘sleepover at home’ and now to send you some books you’ll love. It’s good to have a blog break anyway.

    Keep getting well. Big virtual hug. xo

  63. For any traditional occasion definitely churidar salwar kameez men’s kurta suit is perfect. I would like to share the site http://www.kaneesha.com which my friend recommended me to visit, they have an extensive range from formal kurta suit to party wear.
