So last week. It was fine went past quite quickly (must be my age!) I had coffee and a walk at Dinton pastures, shopping and coffee in M&S followed by a picnic lunch in a park. My boy returned home and El came to stay. Plus the usual dialysis. Then my wonderful weekend away.

This week includes lots of sleeping to recover, shopping with Ben for last minute bits and pieces for Reading Festival, a patchwork evening with friends, some tidying and ironing, a mammogram on Thursday morning followed by dialysis, and a quiet weekend.

I have been asked again to change my time at dialysis and this time I have decided that I will do it. This will mean getting to the hospital for 8am. It will be another change for us but maybe for the better. I have less people with me now for dialysis so it won't be a problem. The plan will be to leave straight away when we are up, have dialysis and then come home and have a sleep. This will then mean I may have some of the afternoon left and the evening - hopefully. It may mean I just feel yuck for more time we shall see.

I had a lovely chat with Chloe this morning. She is having an amazing time - although seeing such sad things. So many babies I would like her to bring back for us to look after. She had a wonderful visit to an Island at the weekend and camped in a tent overlooking a lake under thousands of stars. I am SO looking forward to seeing her photos. It has been a visit of a lifetime.

Well thats me for now. Hope you have all had wonderful holidays.

Please keep evening of 8th October free for my end of treatment party. Just beginning to get organised.
