All in all a satisfactory day. On a Sunday I go to a different paper shop which is close to the beach at Ryde. It was really nice in the sunshine. It was an exceptionally low tide which might explain why one of the French Car Ferries was anchored off Portsmouth Harbour.
We went up to Andrea's for Lunch. Ev cooked a fan Shepherd's pie with veg. This weekend sees the Isle of Wight Music Festival, which had another good day with the weather. Martin and Andrea took Emily and Adam with them. There is a lot for them to do in the kid zone.
When it was nearly time for them to return to the festival Ev and I came back home. The paradox of where we live is despite the carry on with the car wheels the area we live in is quite quiet. We were able to sit undisturbed in the garden for a couple of hours.
Once or twice today I have felt a little nauseous but the feeling quickly passes. I definitely feel a lot better than I did at the equivalent stage in the last lot of chemotherapy. How much of this is due to the state of mind and how much is down to me getting used to the treatment I hesitate to say. Also on a good note I seem to be able to swallow a little better. Please keep your fingers crossed that the chemo is actually working.
As another positive thought, I have to say that having a definite timetable of events does wonders for you. As I have remarked before it's not the delay I mind it's the not knowing. It does make my life much easier when they tell you what is going on.
