Undergoing essential repairs

I lost my voice yesterday. Mid lesson. It just sort of slowly disappeared to the point where I had to bang the table with a wooden spoon in the middle of a practical lesson and mime! Made for an interesting lesson anyway.

For only the second time in my life, I was rendered completely speechless. The first time was when I lost my voice the week before I was due to sing in church. There's testimoney to the power of prayer.

I lost a crown this week too. It lost its bearings as I munched my way through a bowl of icecream adorned with jelly tots and M&Ms on Mothers Day. Luckily a trip today to my (NHS) dentist and £25 soon saw me right on that one.

Getting my voice back should be cheaper, but will probably take longer. My husband was loving it, up until the point I was able to remind him that communication can be both spoken and written. Don't you just love Post-its?

I have absolutely no comment to make about you losing your voice!

Wise man, that Pluto.

Ali! You are back. I feel like you've been gone forever!

So glad we don't need your voice for the blog...Although it would be pretty cool...

Sending you an email later today. Hope your voice recovers soon...

Bummer on losing your voice - it always comes back, but those around you frequently take advantage of the vulnerable place you are in when you can't defend yourself.
