Thursday 28th May

Think this blog posting could very well be more disjointed than normal, so long since i wrote anything and so much much has happened over these last few days.

Steve and I did go over to Bournemouth, to see one of our friends who is in hospital having treatment, (the other friend is in London, and is doing well from her operation). It was lovely to see her and her husband, (and daughter), and despite being very ill she has turned the corner and is slowly beginning to build up her strength again. She has a long hard road ahead of her, but such an amazing supportive family and a huge amount of helpful friends, i know this will go a long way  to aiding her recovery.

Sunday morning dog walk along Grouville beach....

The girls (and boy) in pink, from the Sunday morning aerobics class. 

Some of us getting ready for the Race for Life on Sunday, and so far I have had an amazing amount of sponsorship.. 

£ 2,553.87!!!!!

You've heard of James and the Giant Peach? Well, Tom bought me some 'Suffolk Mushroom ' (no not magic!) and somehow I messed up and  managed to grow an ENORMOUS singular mushroom, so its 'Jill and the Giant Mushroom.....

You see this beautiful sparkling little bay , well on Wednesday morning I went for a swim (ok, dip) in the Sea!! I did really. I have video proof and will post it when I work out how! It was lovely, and freezing at the same time. Jess wimped out and only paddled, as normal. In fact I enjoyed it so much that I went down again in the evening and had another dip! I had got incredibly hot playing tennis, so it was the 'ice bath' that I needed..

I've taken over radio coverage from my husband this week, fed up with hearing his voice commenting on various issues I thought it was my turn. Actually not strictly true, our Gynae group is changing its remit slightly, and instead of just being with ladies with 'gynae' cancers we have rebranded ourselves.

We have a new name R.I.S.E., which is the acronym for Recover, Inform, Support, and Empower, and the group is now open to ALL ladies affected by a Cancer diagnosis, and their loved ones. Radio Jersey kindly invited BM from Macmillan and me into their studio to chat yesterday and I did a little bit for Channel 103. Fortunately I haven't heard myself at all, so thats a blessing. Quite sure it was the usual load of gobbledegook that spouts forth when Im nervous!

We are still meeting once a month the first Thursday (so June 4th) is the date for next get together and I see our advert is in the local paper tonight. Hopefully  a small write up too on Saturday.
So, things as usual have been quite hectic, plus I couldn't type before today as RN took us for an hours circuit class before an hours netball on Tuesday and my arms fell off.
