Feeling SO much better today - back to my new normal! I am very much looking forward to this week which includes coffee with friends and hopefully a visit to school,  Chelsea Flower Show on Wednesday, patchwork meeting and Josh and Debs home for the weekend. I also have a visit on Friday to the Rheumatologist - I am hoping that I will now move to 6 monthly visits as I have been clear of autoimmune disease for 2 years since I started the chemo. This is amazing and with everything else going on I tend to forget about it. But I take no tablets to control the autoimmune part of my disease - it seems that the chemo has sent it into remission. Or as one Dr suggests that now I am not fighting the cancer my immune system has settled down again. Whatever has caused it to be gone I am very grateful. I do have damage to most of the joints in my body but it is not progressing and my skin which was tight all over my neck and arms has settled down. 


The weekend will be busy as we will have all our chicks home in the nest. Josh, Debs, Paul and I are going to London to the ballet on Saturday. On Sunday we have a family celebration for Adam's 21st birthday and Joys birthday. I must remember to book a quiet day for Monday! 


It has been lovely to have Chloe home this weekend - she has spent most of the weekend sewing a beautiful quilt for Ed. Photos to follow when she has finished. She is going back to Southampton to work at a boat show  for a few days. Next week we are going to see Les Mis together. 


In a few weeks a very special little friend of mine is taking part in the 'Race for Life'. She will be running for me. Hopefully I will have more details of how you can sponsor her later on in the week. She is 9 years old and her name is Phoebe. She and her sister have been wonderful friends throughout the last 3 years - making me cards and buying presents and filling my house with butterflies. I love them very much and am so glad they are part of my life and my journey. 


I have been watching pictures of the torch relay - so grateful I am alive to see the Olympics come to Britain. It is wonderful to read some of the stories of the torch bearers - so many brave and courageous people. 


Life is wonderful!
