Happy Tuesday....

I thought I would just have to write a post this morning ( Wednesday 12th) as so much happened yesterday and I need to tell someone what a good day I had!!

Not wanting to waste the morning, I headed off to the gym. I managed to get onto a yoga class but as that didn't start until 10:30am I had plenty of time for a long swim.

The yoga class was interesting to say the least, only being a ' beginner' with little room for any improvement I was a tad apprehensive . A mixture of abilities and people in the class, but the instructor was lovely. I did feel the man with only one leg was amazing and STILL better than me !

Met Jack and Steph from the tube station and then raced to hospital for my radiotherapy , they have two machines, one broke last week and is only half mended (!) I don't like to dwell on that too much .. So my appointment tomorrow has been put back to 6:40pm. It's a good job I chose to live close by the hospital I would hate having to travel in every day, especially at early evening time in rush hour.

I also needed blood tests to see how my body is responding to the treatment. Luckily there wasn't too long a wait, and I get results today at the clinic this afternoon.

It was a little disconcerting to be sat in the same room as an 'inmate' and her two guards from the local prison - especially as she was attached by a very long, noisy dangling set of handcuffs.

We all decided that a nice walk across Hyde park and then maybe some shopping in Oxford street was the order of the day. Fortunately for us the sun was shining and it was beautiful. Oxford street was as usual very busy, but Jack did mange to buy some new trainers he needed and as the ones he was wearing were a bit small he changed into them straight away.

Let's not mention that I also bought a new pair of boots ( a girl can never have too many boots- more of that later!!)

Walking and talking it was decided we would see if there were any cheap (er) tickets for a show that we could see that evening, so we made our way towards Leicester square .

Walking down Regent road, you couldn't help but see the barefoot, homeless man crouched over, in a shop doorway, hugging his knees. Jack turned to us and said, I could give him my shoes ( his too small trainers he'd only worn a few times) that he was still carrying.

The mans feet were blistered and sore, and he had no other possessions around him, it was him looking up at Jack and saying "Thank you, thank you so much" that will stay with me for ever.

We got three tickets in the dress circle for Kinky Boots, and as we had time went to eat at a Mexican restaurant .

The meal was lovely, and the musical was very, very good, funny too, I highly recommend it if you get the chance.

Walking along to the embankment tube, we were passed by two police vans and a car, although it wasn't immediately obvious to where they were all racing too, we saw as we entered the station them standing around looking up.
As we also looked up we saw there was a man standing on the edge of the building , looking like he might have wanted to jump onto the train track. Very sad that some people feel so desperate to end their lives.

Must say it was a lovely surprise to be greeted by a huge box full of a lovely bouquet of flowers that was delivered to the flat just now! Thank you Grainville Tennis club!!!! Beautiful 😄 X

All in all a very busy, but really good day in London, and after today's treatment I should be one third of my way through radiotherapy ( according to Mr Statistic Steve Luce) :-)
