No wonder they have quick reactions - years of sprinting out from beneath oblivious, descending butts.

Hope things are good with you. <br /><br />Jane - I think the recovery rates from TIAs are pretty good, and so long as things are monitored to guard against more / bigger events, she should be fine. <br /><br />V bizarre vase! Not one I'd pick - but the flowers were lovely. :)Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-6150572439775531522011-02-11T17:55:09.156+00:002011-02-11T17:55:09.156+00:00Love your description of the avenue and Mrs M.

It did sound like a TIA, though. It was very strange to see that vase. I wonder if the flowers will show up on the MRI scan? :/<br /><br />BB - Def quite creepy! Although I wouldn't have minded roses so much.<br /><br />VMSP - TIA's are such a strange and disturbing phenomenon. But that's the link between the 'plumbing' of the brain and the manifestation of any kind of problem. <br /><br />alexia - Thanks for that. I think I use a lot of animal imagery in my writing. Maybe I should've been a vet. <br /><br />Cheers for the comments! :)Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-88515370396544812022011-02-11T08:50:21.460+00:002011-02-11T08:50:21.460+00:00Another heart-touching story.

My dad has them. <br /><br />Weird how strokes just kind of throw you off but don't really cause pain or any kind of symptom you can put your finger on. Hope I can avoid them when I get older but you never know.VM Sehy Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03832671940615894037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-36058937997211144172011-02-10T21:51:40.156+00:002011-02-10T21:51:40.156+00:00Hope the dear was ok?

It's a good to be independent - but it's also good to know when you need help!<br /><br />Alison - It'd freak me out, too. I'm the same with Toby jugs. And porcelain clowns. I'm not a fan of glass animals. And chintzy ceramic shepherdesses bring me out in a rash. <br /><br />Wordfiend - Thanks v much (and I'll make the correction!)<br /><br />***<br /><br />Thanks for all your comments :)Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-21621213411185138422011-02-10T12:36:42.982+00:002011-02-10T12:36:42.982+00:00Another lovely story.
