Wednesday 14^th November

I managed to somehow set off the smoke alarm this morning by switching the iron on…..obviously a very sensitive alarm, or a very blocked up iron! Luckily only momentarily, but enough to have me charging about in a mild state of panic!

Started off my first dog walk of the day in a positive mood, the sun was shining and she was behaving herself, 15 minutes down the road I realised I’d forgotten the ‘doggy bags’, so obviously turned around and went back home to get them! (Just as well).

Guess who wanted to 'play'!

The plan was to go out west this afternoon and play on the sand dunes with dog and daughter, but by the time we had been to Waitrose and gone through the car wash (It was so filthy it needed an industrial  clean!) we ran out of time, so made do with the woods and St Catherine’s beach!

Other than a mild sore throat I don’t seem to be suffering any side effects, I don’t need to take any steroids post chemo, or anti-sickness drugs so that’s a bonus. The time I spent in hospital was minimal (just over an hour) so that’s manageable too.  I guess I just have to re adjust my outlook and get on with it, I know it’s in my best interest and that’s what matters.

I know a lot of you do read the daily ‘drivel’ that I write and I thank you for all the on-going support and friendship that you have shown me, I do realise it’s very, very difficult to post comments!

“I think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don't walk away, don't be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, don't take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.”
