Monday,its warm and humid so I go to the shed after breakfast to write letters. I then spend time reading and making notes for my presentation in July. I also start drafting the content of the slides I shall use. I dip in and out of book as I think about what I want to say. Slowly I accrue a pile of books which make a contribution and will end up as a reference slide. I’ve given up doing reference lists I just stick up a picture of the book pile and let people source them if they ae interested. To date the pile looks like this:
Lunchtime arrives and I microwave a carton of chicken soup ad sip it in the shed before going into the house to watch Scotland get beaten by the Czech Republic. I change into my training gear and make my way back to the shed to train for an hour on the bike but not before telling the garden guy to mow the grass. The session is okay for a Monday.

I stop to admire the peony as I return to the house.
Time for tea and one more football match before a very long bath during which I listen to Radio Four’s comedy club. By the time I emerge from the bathroom smelling of CK One the household has gone to bed leaving me a peaceful time to write the blog. Tomorrow I have my oncologist call at 9am. I am still not sure what I want to say to him or ask him. I shall discuss my latest bloods and tell him I have pain in my right hip area at the back, he will suggest paracetamol and see me again by telephone again in four months. I shall then get on with attending an on line conference for the next two days. Must keep the little grey cells working as Poirot would say.
