Flagging

As the 4th treatment approaches on Thursday, I'm seem to be on a go slow. I'm battling with fluid retention and low energy. I suspect the blood tests will reveal a few thing awry.

I hope the CT gals don't mind being published! The picture of me, while not flattering, is interesting as my eyes have regained their colour. They were peculiarly colourless and lizard-like for several months as a result of the chemo.

Spirits are high at home as James is home on study leave for the week and Nic is just back from her amazing trip to the UK and Kenya. Each trip sends them home with a greater understanding of the hugeness of the world and the opportunities out there. Ali started his final school term today. He is rested and restored and ready to take on the matric challenge.

Tim is in Athens for a few days. While it's a pity for him to miss the time with James, I think he deserves a break from everything, even if it involves long flights. The international meetings are always so stimulating and energising.
