OK, here I am again, feeling less sleepy now. I had a fair night's sleep and a couple of hours today. First thing this morning, I heard a knock at the door and it was a delivery of beautiful roses, thanks Jacky. Later this morning, 2 people from work came to see me. It was lovely. They also brought me a huge bouquet of wonderful flowers, The colours were great. Thank you.

I have not been as well as I would like over the past couple of days. Sleep is difficult, and I am awoken by pain 1 - 2 each night. I take more morphine, and then go back to sleep, so that's OK.

I saw Pete and Dot yesterday, and Dot has a nasty sore throat, and is feeling a bit poorly, so I can't complain, at least I don't that!!!!!! As I have said before, I am lucky in that way....coughs and colds leave me alone!

My lovely, lovely holiday................. I had such a great time with all of my dearest friends and family. The venue was fabulous.....Ridge farm in Surrey..... See further down this page to the right for contact details, I think that it is under 'other places'. Definitely worth a visit!!!!! Day 1 (Tues 8th) Dot and Pete went on their own,at silly O'clock and arrived at 10.00ish....bloody barmy! Jacky arrived just before me. Keith and Sarah came to me the day before. We picked Roxanne up from the Station on Tues.morning at 10.00. Jean, another friend arrived with me here at 09.30 am. We set off at about 11.00. We arrived at about 3.oopm. We did have 2 stops en route though. The weather was great, and we sat on the patio for most of the evening. Keith, Roxanne and Sarah did some archery, and Jacky had a go too. We went for a swim, had a 'Vietnamese take away'. Dot and Pete went to the pub. Me and Jacky in the pool.
