Me,Ski? No

Chocolate!
Made it into work this Thursday, but was very tired. GJ bought me some eggs.

Today my buddies are going skiing, I usually go with them. They go to Söll to ski the mountains, I go to Mount Vernon... it's just not quite the same (or fair)!
Miss you guys

Slept solidly after work, I am absolutely worn out.


Went to buy camouflage trousers the other day
...Couldn't find any

Twin Peaks

Today at work, Grant, who works upstairs, was in the office and I realised that he could be my long lost twin; he has the same hair as me! (No, he doesn't wear a Common Bob). in fact I think mine is actually greyer than his.

After school I took Oscar to football training - I haven't been for months and was really looking forward to watching him; especially as it had been a lovely sunny day. But oh boy, was it cold and windy... I had to hold on to my wig!

Now as my hair is getting longer, I am venturing out sometimes without Common Bob (I keep forgetting to put it on)! It's not quite the punky pixie look I had imagined, but once I am allowed to get some colour on it, I'm sure I will be experimenting.

Give me a grant, I don't have a bob!

Just Another day at the Office

A little visit to the doctors this morning. Into work then a pub lunch with work colleagues. Powernap after work.

Didn't really need to feed the kids before they went to clubs tonight. At Brownies tonight they made.... Brownies! At Cubs they did Highland Games for Burns night with shortbread.

Blooming Looming

Well hello bloggies and bloggettes, not much to report today. I think that my recent bout of depression has come from having finished my chemotherapy, then had the mastectomy and then having a break.... I feel now as if I don't actually want to have to do anymore treatment. 

If I had gone straight to radiotherapy sooner after the operation it would have felt more like a flow-though, and all part of the same process.  I had such a lovely Christmas break with all the family that I nearly forgot what was still ahead of me... and now that time is looming nearer.

I nearly fell off my unicorn

What a Lift

Still on the bike hunting CYCLE. I still am not not sleeping well at night and trying to put off doing the hurty exercises... but I do get round to doing them. 

I think that I have all my chauffeurs now booked on for my three weeks of radiotherapy. What wonderful support. 

I think that I am now getting used to the Tamoxifen as I am not waking up feeling sick any more or getting so depressed in the afternoons. 

Tommy did a lovely family Sunday roast.

The chickens have come to roast

Sporty

No work for me this Saturday, we went out to look at bikes for the twins' birthday... wow, are they expensive! Is a tandem a bit too random?


Are tandems any cheaper?


Rebecca had a wall climbing birthday party to go to, Oscar had a swimming gala with the Cubs. 

I went up the road to help Sam with her hair for a fancy dress party. 


Tandem rider stopped by police car: "What've I done, officer?"  "Perhaps you didn't notice sir, but your wife fell off your bike half a mile back ..." "Oh, thank goodness" says the rider - "I thought I'd gone deaf!"
