Christmas lilies...
Inspired by the "personality plus chickens" which Rosey down- loaded to brighten up the BB. I thought you might like to see my Christmas lilies. They are at their best just now and their scent is wonderful. Too strong for people who have hayfever but fortunately not for any of our family. We have enjoyed some warm and sunny days down here in the Sth Island. It's been wet and cold further north, so we have been fortunate. We had a lovely picnic in the bush (forest) area on New Years Day and enjoyed the smell of the trees and the lovely birdsong. A nice start to the year. The following morning we were woken by a series of shakes, around 1am and again at 5am. We had two over 5 and nine others... This morning we had a 4.8. The "experts" have no idea what is going on. Some say this is the last of the "after shocks" from last years quakes, others say it's the start of another series. People are jumpy, tired and disappointed that they are continuing.. I'm sure the latest round will see some people reconsidering their commitment to staying in the Christchurch area.
DH has sciatica...he met a man (not a medical man) this morning who "knows all about it " (!?!) He told DH that ,if he was spending his evenings sitting in front of TV., on a "lazy-boy" chair, (how did he guess ??) that was the worst thing that he could be doing. He should be lying down on his tum...??? DH came home and removed the offending chair.. We could be in for an interesting evening...!!
Best wishes to all.

Marion-love the lilies. They are pretty, but would make me sneeze.
The non-medical man was right about DH's chair. My DH had one, and it made the s. nerve worse. Maybe he could lie down on the couch, that way his knees would not be bent. If he hasn't had an injury, such as golf swing causing a bulging disk (my DH) maybe a walk once a day would help.

Marion, so sorry about the nerve wracking shocks. When the North Ridge quake happened near Los Angeles quite a few years ago DD told me that she and all of her co-workers at the hospital were suffering from PTSD and were irritable, jumpy and sleep deprived.
Ice packs on the butt would probably help with the sciatic pain and walking are both therapeutic. Your DH probably ought to get some professional advice from a chiropractor or othopedic doc.
Those lilies are beautiful but would probably make me sneeze too. I'm allergic to everything that grows in the state of North Carolina but have been helped by the bi weekly shots.
