Thursday 29th November

Papa’s birthday today so we were all treated to a lovely evening meal at Partners in St Clement, seems a bit harsh that even though it’s his birthday he picks up the tab!!

Popped into Macmillan this morning, they had a coffee morning but couldn’t stop, just went to collect a Christmas cake made by TF. She makes and sells them at Genuine Jersey fairs; I think the label she goes by is Jersey Cottage Treats, look out for them!

Enjoyed a Pilates class this morning before a quick lunch and off to work for 1pm. I don’t feel half as tired today thank goodness, and the side effects from the steroids seemed to have worn off. The ‘tingling’ fingers and toes feeling which comes and goes during the course of the day seems to have lessened as well, so all good.

Saw the new bursar at work today, not met him before, nice smile, nice firm handshake and he was wearing a Winnie the Pooh tie, think we’ll get on famously!! 

Apparently I need to ‘tone down’ the background of my blog page, far too bright for some people!

It was on my fifth birthday that Papa put his hand on my shoulder and said, 'Remember, my son, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.'
