Hi everyone –

Thanks for your ongoing ride with me on the merry-go-round. I hope yours is going ok ... mine didn’t toss me around as much as I expected in the past week; it just slowed down a lot at times.

In other words, the three injections gave me far less pain than in the past (probably because we did them to prevent depletion rather than fix it after the fact), but they did make me rather tired. And they did their work! I was able to have chemo today, without any fuss. So I’ll do the other three injections this week.

Wishing you a good week, whatever it holds!

Lots of love 🌹❤️

Thank you, to everyone who sent me birthday wishes yesterday – I appreciate them hugely!

My birthday was an intentionally peaceful, gentle day at home with Gail, Neria and Layla.

This was my birthday outfit. 😄

We had scones with cream and Gail’s home-made grape jam for tea, and Gail made one of my favourite suppers: extremely mild Balti butter chicken. (Hmmm ... that sounds like the Famous Five describing their picnics, but anyway ...)

If you didn’t wish me yesterday, this message is not me fishing for more messages – all is good! (And I don’t always get to wishing everyone else, either.)

Much, much love 🌹❤️
