So Friday returns and a week has passed again. We had a lovely day last Monday visiting Henley and meeting Ed's sister and Dad. We also had a lovely lunch in Wargrave at a pub on the river. It has made me realise that I need more water in my life! It was so peaceful to sit and watch the boats by the river.

Dialysis has been somewhat of a challenge. I had hoped that by doing dialysis early in the morning I would then at least gain an evening. But no! All that seems to happen is that I loose the whole day. I arrive at dialysis by 7.30 and get onto the machine at 8 so finish by 12.30 and home by 1. A couple of hours sleeping and I was hoping that I would then be fine - but no. I just feel bashed in for the rest of the day. Hey - ho! Maybe I need to adjust to this new regime and will then feel better. We shall see.

Chloe continues to have a wonderful time (although with a bit of sickness this week). She has seen so many things including a baby being born in the courtyard of the hospital. This weekend she is off on safari and is so excited. There is the possibility of seeing elephants which would be amazing. She returns home on Wednesday so only has 2 days left at the hospital. I think she will be sad to leave - it has been an amazing experience.

This week for me includes our little holiday to Bath - I can't wait, picking Chloe up from the airport, Kitty is coming to dialysis and showing me her photos of Greece and my boy returns to school which means we return to routine and clock watching! We restart bible study - I have missed my ladies who lunch and look forward to hearing all their summer news. This means I need to tidy the lounge so they have somewhere to sit!!!!

My Uncle has just started his chemo - please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
