Better every day

Very nice last couple of days. Despite the weather being drizzly, windy & cold yesterday, my friend and I went ing to the lake for the town's annual fair. Very long walk round the lake (just over 6kms), but my stiffness and soreness only proved that I really need to go out every day for walking. List of interesting stalls, bought part of Charlotte's Christmas present, sweets for any trick or treaters that might turn up and my favourite home made natural soap.

There were some vintage and classic cars as well as model planes including one with fold up wings which was full size.

My breast cancer nurse was there manning her stand and also caught up with other breast cancer sufferers and survivors I've met along my journey. Was tired when I got home but well worth it. My friend had brought her dog so my Harriet got her first canine socialising experience. Was quite hilarious. Wished I'd got a photo of the staring competition. Tash is such a lovely quiet gentle dog and lives with a cat at her place.

Then today my son, his partner & Charlotte came and we went and lunched at the restaurant by the lake. Very nice. Charlotte fascinated with all the birdlife on the lake.

Did a bit of shopping after lunch and came back home for tea and entertainment, courtesy of Charlotte of course. Very pleasant two days-how fortunate I am.

Tomorrow back to the hospital for fluid draining and first oncology appointment since my surgery: I wonder what treatment I'm in for this time?

  1. Hi Kathleen, so glad you had such a lovely weekend, even if you are a bit tired. what a good way to take your mind off your oncology appointment. I hope it went well and your treatment plan has now been sorted out.

    P.S. Sorry if my profile photo doesn't show. Blogger seems to have replaced it with an alarming exclamation mark on the blogs I've recently joined. Let's see what happens when I post this.....

  2. Aha! It shows when I comment but not when I'm listed as a Follower. The mystery thickens... :-)
