Monday 23^rd July

I did have to laugh today at a comment made by the pleasant supermarket man .Let me explain I have a new credit card and therefore had to re-register. He was putting in my details and asked me what the B stood for, I replied Barbara, and made a ‘face’. He said he thought it was a lovely name, before pausing and adding, “My wife’s got an ‘old’ name too”!!

I have been training for the Olympics, I realise I am a little late in my fitness schedule but thought that I could enter one of the swimming events, possibly synchronised.   In order to achieve this aim before Saturday I took a swim at the Merton this morning and then a sea swim this afternoon.

We went to see Jessie this evening; she is so adorable and now able to wobble about with her brothers and sisters, only four/five weeks before she is with our family.

Blood tests and mammogram tomorrow afternoon at the hospital, and the chemo, if it goes ahead is now booked for Wednesday……….apparently the Pharmacy is shut Thursday and Friday!!
