Thursday and I wake to a cloudy sky, I do my vitals and then make drinks for myself and my partner. We decide on a simple breakfast which while we eat the weather breaks and It rains. We know that the forecast for tomorrow here and at home is for heavy rain and thunderstorms so we decide to go home today so that we do not have to drive in the rain for hours. We pack, and then visit the sea for the last time, paddling for a short while. My partner and I go for lunch in the Rockpool café and then pack the car. I shower and then we set off for home at about 13:45.

The drive gets us back home at about 19:30 , having had a stop for comfort, a stop for fuel and an unexpected stop to check the tyres, In general the drive is good but tiring. Once home I am pretty fried and spoonless. There is post and some of it are birthday cards and presents. A friend has sent me a surprise present of an ice hockey jersey, pictures to follow. My partner and I eat a simple tea and watch a film. I draft the blog and finally go to bed. Tomorrow I will try and collect my new cycle of chemo drugs and I can get going on chemo again.
