So here we all are again - its Friday. Again a fast and wet week! I can't believe the school holidays are nearly over. Life seems to be whizzing by! I continue to treasure each day - so grateful to be getting better all the time. Even if it is slower than I would like.

My boys results were OK yesterday not as we would have wished but fine and enable him to go on to do A levels. He seems to have coped with results day and we move on. He is at Reading Festival - probably a drowned little rat!!!

Chloe is having a wonderful time - although interspersed with very sad situations. I am SO grateful for the NHS and for wonderful nurses and Drs who care for me. She was looking after a man yesterday with kidney failure who will die because there is only 1 hospital in Uganda where you can have dialysis and he wouldn't be able to afford to get there or to pay for the treatment. We take so much forgranted don't we.

So the week ahead hopefully involves, picnic and walk at Henley, coffee with friends, early morning dialysis, shopping with Ben for school, crafting, and next weekend in Bath for our 30th wedding anniversary. We are staying in a beautiful hotel for 2 nights. I am SO looking forward to it.

School will return next week and it will feel very strange. This will be the first time they have gone back and I will know I am not returning. I can't quite get my head around the change that will bring knowing I will no longer work. I am sure there will be new things to fill my life and give it purpose I just need to find them. At the moment I am just glad I can be a mummy again!
