Day 40

Ev and I had a reminder of what we have missed out on as a result of this bit of bother.
Today we should have gone on holiday to Spain with Christopher, Gillian, Harry, Ian and Lorna. A villa was hired for a fortnight. Who they? Son, Daughter in Law, Grandson and Daughter in Law's parents. They all went today and have arrived safely. For Ev and I alas we have to stay at home. Apart from health, travel insurance is thin on the ground.
Today's not been too bad though. There's been a lot of sport on TV to enjoy, not that I want to turn into a couch potato. Whisper it not too loud but I did actually feel like eating something today. Ev put together a nice risotto and together with a pudding made for a good evening meal.
I had a visit from a man called Noel from the local Methodist Church. We had a very pleasant chat. A man in his 80s, he has a sister who lives in New Zealand. Even though they haven't seen each other very much they communicate via the internet. Thank goodness he wasn't trying to sell me anything. It was very kind of him to call.
Apart from that we have been listening to some nice music on Classic FM. It's important that I gather strength for the third session of chemo starting on Tuesday.
