It may sound silly, I mean I know I am on a cancer journey, I’ve had major surgery, I’ve been bouncing between scans and medical professionals for that very reason, but I just don’t feel like someone who has cancer. What’s that supposed to feel like? I’m not sure, but most of the time right…

It’s almost the first day of winter, and certainly we’ve had the odd cooler evening and chilly morning but overall it’s been incredibly mild. Right now, mid-morning I’ve just been for a walk in short sleeves on a sunny day. Amazing. Perhaps our change in altitude helps. It would have been a damp, chily morning…

Two weeks after the lst scan I finally have a date for my next oncologist appointment: 4 June. Given the casual nature of the conversation I had with the bookings clerk (who was going to ring sometime in the next fortnight to make an appointment if I hadn’t rung her first), I can only assume…

The weather this weekend was great and we made good use of it. My clotheline area is now cobbled, so no more walking on the dewy grass. The washing got out mid afternoon and surpriningly all but three items did get dry before we lost the sun for the day. Impressive for the time of…

Today’s trip went well. For a start it was supposed to be raining but while it was misty and damp, it wasn’t actually raining. Then as I was packing the car, I saw a kereru/native wood pigeon in the neighbour’s tree over our driveway. I tried hard to get a picture without chasing it away.…

It’s been a very normal last few weeks. My energy levels are improving, I’m doing longer hours at work, and I’m having fewer medical appointments. Speaking of which, I do have a scan bioked for Wednesday, but it’s in Thames, so a 3 hour round trip rather than 3 hours one way, so that’s good…

It’s been an interesting week. The other day I spotted a new fruit tree on the property, a red guava half buried in the flowers at the top of the driveway. But I titled this post for the kittens because I haven’t posted any photos of them in awhile. They’ve grown significantly, now at 6…

Those in NZ will know but for the rest of my readers: sorry, I should have postedon Monday to confirm that all was well. The storm ended up veering east and did far less damage than it might have done if it had stayed on track. We had a couple of strong gusts that made…

Red sky at night, cyclone nearly in sight… that’s how the rhyme goes, isn’t it? Seriously, we’re well prepared for the coming chaos so I think we’ll be okay, though I fully expect road closures and probably power cuts. The biggest worry is the garage because the builder has been delayed and therefore hasn’t fixed…

An unexpectedly industrious long weekend here. The posts are in for the new washing line… …the glasshouse retaining wall is up and the frame established… …and the old wardrobe walls in Nathan’s room have been demolished (further work required) Anyway it’s Sunday morning and time for church on the most important day of the church…
