Once again I am in hospital dealing with my lung disease and trying to post something using my phone. I have to admit I’m not sure about the future – my own, my blog, and the West Enders- and I’ve turned off automatic renewal of the site at the end of the year. But for now, let me share some of my photos from the weeks between hospital stays.
Tobias in London Kimiko and Nigel are also in London, deep in discussion. Astrud has the London vibe down. As does Luciana! Meanwhile, back in West End Village, Dr Bonnie Panenka, my alter ego, and my mini-me are celebrating a birthday. The lovely Meghan is modelling a dress by Lex (aka Ce Ce Doyle). The men have decided to smarten up for spring too. Barry thinks he looks pretty good in his new shirt. So does Dalpinder. And Quentin! Carrie is looking casual. Marilyn has a new look. I can’t believe how long I had this tee shirt from Tiny Frock Shop and never realised whose lips those were. Colette went for a walk to enjoy the spring weather. So did Carmelita.And Tatiana. The pub is doing a brisk business during football season (soccer to Americans). And the pizzeria has a new waitress. Finally a day off for Trichelle now that Sindy has been hired.
As you can see, no matter how ill I become, the dolls remain my favourite therapy!
Hi Wendy, I’m so sorry to read that you’re in hospital again. 😦 The dolls all look so beautiful and handsome, I love this photo series. How funny that Marilyn is wearing her own lips on her shirt!! The new waitress is a cutie, I bet she’ll do a wonderful job. I’m glad that you find distraction with your dolls, it is great therapy indeed. 🙂 Wishing you all the best my dear, and hopefully you’ll be home soon again. A huge hug!
I’m sorry that you’re so unwell. and I hope that dolly therapy will continue to lift your spirits. Your dolls are looking lovely. Thank you for this blog!
Thank you so much! I’m sure the dolly therapy will continue to help once I get home. If I have to stay too long, I’ll have to get my husband to bring one in to keep me company! 😉
I had a feeling that she wasn’t a doctor of medicine. But a doctor is a doctor. Archaeopteryxes of a feather flock together, as I’m sure Dr Panenka would confirm.
When I was a student, one of my favourite palaeontologists told me the reason he became one instead of a biologist was that he never had to hurt anything.
Loved seeing all of these photos. Dolls are great therapy, aren’t they? So glad you have well enough to share these photos with us! Loved Marilyn’s shirt with her own lips! Hope you start feeling better soon too. Hugs to you my friend!

I wonder which doll you would choose to join you. I’m guessing either Dr Bonnie Panenka or your mini me.

Probably Dr Bonnie Panenka – she can be replaced far more easily than my mini-me!

And she is a doctor, more at home in a hospital than you are.

She’s a palaeontologist so her patients have all been dead for millions of years! 😂

PS I’m a doctor too. And my patients are all dead as well. 😉

I didn’t know that you were a doctor. One good thing about all you patients being dead is that you can’t do them any harm.
