And here we are in September - where did the summer go? I am sad not to be going back to school this week. It feels like it was a life time ago that I last worked. I can remember going into school the day after I was diagnosed and explaining to the headmistress that I would need to have some time off to cope with the treatment. Who would have thought that would be the last time I would work? I used to love September going back with new notebook and pencil case, meeting up with colleagues and hearing about their summers and starting back with routine. As ever I love plans and I miss the routine of work. 

Having said all that I wouldn't be able to watch the Paralympics this week if I was working. This week is full of Paralympics - I am loving it. On Wednesday we are going - yippee! We have swimming tickets in the morning and athletic tickets for the evening - in the stadium. We have booked a hotel for Wednesday night so that we can enjoy every moment of Wednesday evening without worrying about catching a train. I can also have a sleep in the afternoon to help cope with Wednesday evening. I am excited! 

So this week - lots of Paralympics, helping a friend sort, new glasses (hopefully), flowers and getting my boy ready for school. (Ben goes back to school on Wednesday) 

My thoughts are with my friends returning to school.
