I will post here for the last time on Feb 28th

I hope to be fit enough by  then to make a sensible valediction.

Thank you for comments conveying prayers and get-well wishes, for which I have so far been unable express my thanks.

NEWS FROM THE OASIS

On Thursday I had the last of a series of hospital tests. Scans showed that unknown to me, I have suffered several minor strokes.
Permanent medication has been prescribed to avoid the situation getting worse. 

I will not be blogging during this period of initial recovery and adjustment to necessary changes in my life style. 

Thank you all for your readership in the past, and for your prayers for which I am even more grateful and indebted.

In the meantime, have a fruitful and Holy Lent.
Until The Annunciation, when I hope to be well enough to post again.  

Pray for our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI
