This is my 545 blog - wow! That is a lot of words and 35,000 views. Thank you for being part of my journey to this point. Who would have thought that first day 27th May when I started blogging what the next 20 months would include. I am so changed!

This is the passage that Julian (our Vicar) read to us when he came to pray

I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?

² My help comes from the LORD,

the Maker of heaven and earth.

³ He will not let your foot slip—

he who watches over you will not slumber;

⁴ indeed, he who watches over Israel

will neither slumber nor sleep.

⁵ The LORD watches over you—

the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

⁶ the sun will not harm you by day,

nor the moon by night.

⁷ The LORD will keep you from all harm—

he will watch over your life;

⁸ the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Psalm 121

How true is that the Lord has watched over my life and he hasn't slept.

I had a great day yesterday with Chloe. We had lunch at a restaurant opposite the theatre which was very nice. Lovely food and great service. It was good to catch up on our busy weeks! Chloe has just finished her rheumatolgy rotation which is combined with orthopaedics - 2 weeks is all they have. She didn't see a single rheumatolgy patient just lectures and very few ortho ones. Considering how huge these areas are in medicine that doesn't seem very good. We then went to the theatre and saw South Pacific - it was great. Wonderful singing!

Today I am warn out - I have had a busy week - 3 journeys on trains - 1 1/2 days in hospital, 3 cannulas, 5 attempts to get blood, 1 op on arm, 1 renal clinic,bible study, flower arranging, etc..... Sounds like a busy week doesn't it! Especially as not so long ago I spent most of my days on the sofa or in bed. So today just some sorting out of Chloe's room as Debz H is coming to stay again. She will be staying with us during the week until Easter.

The week ahead is a bit more peaceful - not quite so much fitted in!
