Saturday and I wake late as does my partner. We spend time talking before getting up late, both of us need the time to rest and reflect. I get up and take my meds including the last of my antibiotics so I am hoping that I remain pain free and infection free. My partner and I go for hot chocolate and bacon rolls and other goodies at our local garden centre. We talk about what our options are to create more spaces at home and whether there is an opportunity to continue to develop the garden once our April/May. Once home I settle down to continue to read my Stephen King book The Eyes of the Dragon , while my partner and eldest daughter go off to see Wicked Little Letters. Thus the day passes. In the evening there is more Designated Survivor to watch and finally to take my meds and go to bed. Its been another slow and resting day. It is not a life of excitement but it is one of marking time till I get to see the Urologist next week. Its all about trying to conserve my energy and to give my body as much chance as possible recover. Underlying it all the battle against the prostate cancer goes on, this last week has added the complication of stones in the bladder, I suspect this is not an uncommon complication.

Easter Sunday and of course the clocks have leapt forward an hour so I wake with nine thirty on one wrist and ten thirty on the other. Its a reminder of how parts of my environment alters itself and does not need me. So breakfast is more like brunch and the weekly call to see the new grandson takes place a bit later. As usual he is a delight and has discovered the wonders of Weetabix. A big step forward for a small person. I catch up with my crosswords and then I settle down to read my current novel for a good while. Three o’clock comes around and I watch the women’s league cup final. I go back to my book at the end of the game and then draft the blog. My evening stretches before me and my plan is to continue reading, resting and doing the odd practical things like finalising the Tesco order for tomorrow. In the end I forget the Tesco order but I do finish reading my book, take my meds and go to bed.
