Aitutaki – Hermit Crabs and Hospitals!
One thing Aitutaki had was an abundance of wildlife, one of my favourites were the hermit crabs. I’ve been a lover of hermit crabs for ages, and I used to have a huge tank with a dozen of them, all named after Harry Potter characters. I was so excited to see them in the wild, in their natural environment, and by golly there were seriously thousands! All shapes and sizes! When my nephew pointed out this little guy to me, I made all those cooing noises you make at a cute baby. LOOK AT HIM! He is SO tiny! Look at his little eyes! (Please excuse my horrid, horrid nail polish) See,…

The year in review!

Of Hospitals & Back Pain!
So, I managed to do grocery shopping on Friday. Very slowly. However, when I got home, I managed to hurt my back even further. Joy of all joys. In fact, I couldn’t move. In fact, my in-laws had to call an ambulance. I think this is the first time I’ve been a patient in an ambulance (Is it bad that I can’t remember if I’ve been in one before?). When the ambos arrived I was given this amazing green whistle type instrument that you breath through called a ‘Penthrox Inhaler’ & boy was that good! I have to say, I think Modbury Hospital has a good Emergency Room. I’ve visited…
