Thank you all for your thoughts and understanding of my back usually when you say that you have a bad back people have a tendency to think OH YEA...but I have not had that here and that is much appreciated...the back is much better now and to the relief of many shop keepers I was able to walk around the shops albeit slowly...I didn't go to the party on Sat night thought it was wise not to...now I will baby it this along for the rest of the week and off to the wedding in my high heels with a pair of flats for dancing in my bag...I will also take plasters panadol tissues and what not for the bridesmaids because at the last wedding there was a break whilst they had their photos taken so we came home and filled a bag with all the above requests which were great fully received...that one was Greek Orthodox and it was wonderful...I have been to about 3 Orthodox weddings and I love them they are such good fun...2 Greek and 1 Ukrainian...I havn't got any flowers left the heat has got to them but I will post one anyway so thank you all for your thoughts...this is next doors bougainvillea in full bloom I think I have posted it before but hey
