Monday and I am brought coffee to wake me. I get going quite early and pretty soon I am driving my partners car to the garage to have its MOT done. While the mechanics work their magic I go to the café down the road adn have one of their special breakfasts and a hot chocolate. There are enough calories in this meal to to sustain a family of four for a week. I return to the garage and drive away happy with an MOT pass.

Once home I am too full to do anything other than read, however I had not been home long when a friend back from holiday rings me. We chat for a while and catch up with our news. Its a real pleasure to hear her news and to exchange views on some issues. After the call I continue to read the book through to the end. So I can now start my new book. Before I do this I decide to train again. Like yesterday it is a half hour session and done at only 80% effort so I do not reach any of my usual targets, however it makes me sweat and feel the effort.

Post training I change and return to my new book, Birdy by William Wharton. It is so different from the last book. The evening starts with tea and a bit more reading before I succumb to watching another couple of episodes of a Strike series. For me its night meds and off to bed. Tomorrow apart from being the first semi final of the women’s world cup it is the day I pick up the next cycle of my chemo drugs from the hospital pharmacy, so there is to be a trip into town in the afternoon.
