Yesterday was cooking day. I made a lemon cake, a chocolate cake for a friend, blueberry cakes and spring biscuits for ladies bible study. I had great fun and I was very thankful for the energy to cook for so long. Lovely!

Today - coffee with a friend and ladies bible study.

Who would have thought at this time last year I would be well enough now to do all that? This time last year I had just had a blood transfusion and received permission from PCT to start the new chemo drug. I am so thankful for my life.

if you would like to hear my interview it is now on the website http://www.abch.org.uk. You can find it under media library lent course 21.3.12. It is towards the end of the session where David teaches on suffering. Please do listen to his bit too - it is really helpful.
