I am thinking about so many things this morning. I wanted to say a huge thank you to you all for being on this journey with me. This is a quote from The Four Loves, by C.S. Lewis. “Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art…It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.” I so appreciate the fact that you still walk this path with me despite the length of time and the many gifts of time that you give to me. Also the cakes, biscuits, flowers and butterflies that make our lives so wonderful. Thank you!

My news for today is that my hair has started to grow. It is tiny, tiny tufts but it is there. Yippee! I am hoping it will come back auburn not grey! However much I have disliked being a red head over the years it is still who I am. The patients in dialysis have never seen me with hair - how strange is that!

Yesterday I went to church. So lovely to see everyone. J preached a great sermon. It reminded me how much I am loved by the creator of the world. So loved that He gave his only son for me.

I am feeling that this blog is becoming a food diary! It shows how important food is! I do think about food quite a lot! Still looking forward to easting normally but getting there slowly. Yesterday we had roast gammon and I made a rhubarb crumble which was yummy.

Today brings dialysis with C and a blood transfusion. Thursday draws ever closer. My bag is nearly packed - new jamas and knickers! Better than last time when I had nothing at all with me. Hopefully I won't be in very long.

I hope you all have happy Mondays.
