I am SO grateful for my new energy levels which enable me to do so much more. Yesterday was a really lovely day with Kit. All the travelling went well - it is so lovely to sit on a train as it chugs along through beautiful countryside. I also had the company of a good book which I finished on the journey home. I love reading and am so grateful for writers who allow us to escape into different worlds. They take our imagination on journeys with language - what a privilege. Kit had invited some of her friends to lunch - it was wonderful to meet some of the girls she shares her life with. Shaun also managed to come home early so I got to spend some time with him too. Altogether a fantastic day. One I will repeat often I think.

Today - I am going to begin learning to do flower arrangements for church. Not sure I will be very good at it - but I think it will be fun trying! A new skill - maybe! Also ladies who lunch and bible study. Tomorrow - Southampton with Chloe to see South Pacific.

My blood results from Wednesday are back at last - my creatinine is the lowest it has been since my kidneys failed - fantastic news that the dye didn't hurt them at all.
