I have struggled all week feeling very tired - post holiday exhaustion . Today - given in and gone to bed. When I get tired like this it is impossible to keep going. It is not the sort of tiredness that gets better after a sleep - it feels like my very bones are too tired to function!   I think I may need to stop for a few days and let my body recover. It is frustrating but something I have to accept. I keep thinking I am well again and am reminded that my body is still in a battle and may always be.

I need to recover as we have tickets to Chelsea again next week - I am feeling excited as I look at the gardens. I am especially looking forward to seeing my lovely Koren gardener who has designed a show garden this year.

Today Chloe gave her presentation of her project and she comes home tomorrow for a months holiday. Not sure how much we will see of her she is working at the boat show next week, and going to Annecy with Ed and his family and going on a few days cycle ride. Its lovely for her to stop though and not think about patients and illness.
