Beating Alzheimer's --- Ten Years

Although my memory is still dripping slowly away, despite Alzheimer's I have been able to write and publish my fifth novel ' Billy Butcher and the Open Door.' This is the sequel to 'Why Billy Butcher Killed His Dad.' The book continues the story of Billy after ten years in prison. It is an often amusing tale of the trials and tribulations faced by a man with a criminal conviction. Billy faces many challenges but with luck and hard work turns his life around only to be faced with a final almost insurmountable challenge. The book is on Amazon . Life continues pleasantly here in Paarl in South Africa. We are in a drought situation after ten months of almost no rain. but today the heavens have opened! My Alzheimer's continues to erode my memory, but I am managing very well for someone who has had the ailment for over ten years. So there is hope for everyone and even some benefits to having Alzheimer's. It is strange how one learns to treasure blessings and live every day to the full and with gratitude. We have had some flu in the house, but we are all well now. Boysie and his sister Polly are now barking in fluent Afrikans, but Snowey is still struggling like myself with the language. Bobby the parrot now chatters away mainly in English and is as funny as ever and his immitation of some of the things that we say so perfect that he causes confusion. Spring is now here and we had a temperature of 30 C which was glorious after the cold Winter. I will miss the log fires though. Julian's Wedding Dress hire business is now growing well and she finds little time for actual dress making, but by early morning starts her beautiful creations contine to flow. Bye for now.
