Illness precludes a journey up there; at least for the time being.So a rough-cut little video to get you all singing along.
We've had to cancel pretty well all social and business events for the whole of this year so far. But we want to wish Chris and Hannah a blessed married life and also Dick and Pauline who are celebrating twenty five years together and Sandra and Kevin have notched up twenty seven, I believe - well done everyone.
Medical report? Blood levels still out of whack - but palpable lymph glands seem reduced. Still some breathing and brain fog problems. But Dr Flora smiled and said I was a nice man - not complaining and doing what I'm told and keeping fit. So there you are - that's all we need.
Shingles is easing; although still painful. Lumps are reducing and the neuralgia in the general region (back of head and neck) is receding. However my right ear is still in blocked mode with earache. It makes listening in stereo rather a waste of time.
Fatigue! Oh my word - there's no redemption there. I can get breathless and knackered just having a conversation, A friend kindly took me out on a little jolly, lovely chat, nice food and atmosphere. It would be very churlish and ungrateful to say it wore me flat - but it did and I had a good hour of snores afterwards.
Hair loss - people with chemo often complain about losing their luxuriant locks. Not me mate! I want rid of mine - but I'm forbidden the shears due to infection and skin-damage risks. I don't look cool with the middle-aged accountant tonsure and fly away bits at (not on!) the side. I want to be bald again - just like I was here!
Pension matters - working it out - just like the constipated mathematician - with a pencil - think about it! And by the way have you seen the cost of setting up Lasting Power of Attorney?
Kym's been brilliant - I've been niggly and a bit brittle - she's kept me on track.
New obsession? Trainz Railway Simulator. Just another computer program demonstrating how impatient and incompetent I am currently. God willing - I will return to my powers of old.
Trainz example
Poor old (young) Boudica has had her beauty spoiled by some cat scratches on her nose. We have a large population of scrounging and scouring moggies. I guess she was trying to protect her own territory.
Another month has gone by an penury looms. We will survive - but from now on all will be different. A paradigm shift.
Thanks for reading.
Mystery Glue the best album for a might long time. Varity, lyrics, playing, production, emotion etc
Bye for now - we've got a few things to sort in the next week or so. Next chemo is booked for 15th June - so I think we will try and get some recovery for a few days. We've had to sort out a lot in the last month. Not easy when one's physical and emotional health are rether fragile.
