Thursday 28^th June

Where to start, such a busy emotional day today! Felt a bit better this morning, less pain and more energy.

Went to the Macmillan coffee morning at the Lido, met some lovely people and had some very interesting discussions. Talked about different chemotherapy drugs and the adverse effects it has on your body- so far I have managed to keep my eyebrows and eyelashes (but they are thinning) whereas one lady who has finished all her treatment and her hair is growing back, said she lost ALL hair and the worst was nasal hair!! You would think it didn’t matter, but she couldn’t stop her nose constantly ‘dripping’! It comes to something when your 8yr old son tells you your nose needs blowing!! Plus, when it grew back it was really, really long- we did laugh (but not unkindly)!!

Lunch and a little rest outside with my sunhat/cream on before tackling house jobs to get ready for my nephew and great nieces that arrive tomorrow!

We had 5 of us in the garden, putting up scaffold ready for painting the outside of the house, hubby cutting the grass(he wouldn’t let me do it, said I’d not get the lines straight and I’d get out of puff!) Annoyingly he’s probably right on both counts, anyway our daughter calls very excited to say a photo of her with a cake that she baked is in the latest edition of Good Food magazine!! (Brownie point for mum for sending that in- well it was a ‘Union jack’ design and she did it for Liberation Day!)

This evening we had the Leavers Mass and prize giving at Beaulieu, a very poignant service, the girls all looked lovely and so grown up- and………….our daughter got the  Excellence Award for business Studies!!!! Just so fantastic, and very, very proud of her- a good day all round!
