We had a lovely, busy day yesterday. Church was great - it was lovely to chat with so many people. David 's talk challenged me again about the idea of a plan B. Guinevere came with me and it was wonderful that a couple of people didn't realise it was a wig. This has given me more confidence to wear it out now. We then went to Saville Gardens for lunch. It was the first time I have been out for lunch since my diagnosis in May and it was really lovely. The food was great and the staff very helpful. Paul then pushed me in the wheelchair around the gardens.Good for his muscles! It was so lovely to see the new rose garden and the borders full of colour coordinated flowers. I came home exhausted but very happy to have done so much. A little sleep and a cream tea helped restore me!

My littlest chick has returned to the nest slightly earlier than planned. He was missing home and decided to leave camp early. It is lovely to have him back. As I type he is playing the piano downstairs filling the house with music.

I am looking forward to today as my aunt and cousin are coming. I am looking forward to hearing all about their recent trips abroad. I love Mondays as they feel like a special treat without dialysis.

Yesterday I received an email from a family friend who I hadn't heard from in years. It was such a delight to catch up with all her family's news. Thank you so much A&K for passing on my details. It is so wonderful to know that people are praying for us in so many parts of the country. I so appreciate it.
