meeting friends

today I had a cup of tea at Wyevale garden centre with Sarah, which  I really enjoyed, then mum took me to the mail to meet Sylvia which was great, we also did some shopping as well as having a cup of tea.  Very tired now but I enjoyed the day.
Also added a couple of photos to Sundays Triathlon blog page.

ps
I have written the blog without my glasses on, so if there are any spelling mistakes etc I can not see what I have written and I am too lazy to look for my glasses

feeling sociable

walked Bertie with Heather and Judith  this morning , then mum came up to help with housework, first time in weeks I have been worried about the house and there is plenty of catching up  to do.
this evening I am going to watch go sailing , hence the blog being done early.

Trilathlon

What a brilliant day.We left the house at 5.30  with 3 bikes on the back and 5 adults.  Sally, Richard, Phil,Gavin, Emma done the whole event and John and I and Mum and Jack done the relay.  Everyone really enjoyed the event and some done better than other. It was lovely doing it as a group and it was great to have Katie and Sam and Liz and Ben come up for support. sophie , Sarah and Celia were put to work while we were doing the event carrying the bags.
My legs are now aching , but I do deserve that as I had only cycled 2  miles in the last 6 weeks!!!

the day before

walked this morning, going round more fields now. Gavin came in the afternoon to pick Sally, mum and I up. Richard also came. We had to register for the tri, do wish I was doing the whole thing, but glad to be doing the bike, although I have to say it will be slow and I hope to get around. Gavin drove around the bike course today and it is as I remember.  debating whether  to  wear  brain tumour support  t shirt. part of me wants to do and pretend that the tumour is not there and I am not ill, the other side of the coin is to be loud and proud and say look what you can do with a brain tumour. so we will  see what my mood is in the morning.

swimming

today I met Cathy for swimming, Richard took me .He is also a fantastic swimmer. It was great, all the regulars were there and there was plenty of chatting. Richard and I then came home and made cupcakes for Sunday. In the afternoon Julie came for lunch, then shopping.


It has made me realise the last few days how depressed I have been and that I never want to go back to such a dark place.

Living

I had cancelling from Kate yesterday which was good.

Today Sophie did not go to college as she had counselling from Kate too. I did dog walk with Emma and walked round more field, legs coming back.  In the afternoon I popped over to Janet for a catch up, she had been on holiday. I also went on a very short bike ride, I  am doing the 12 mile bike on Sunday in a team tri with John. I did feel sick, but I  will do the 12 miles !!!!

Tenby

It was brilliant, 16 went, all in one big house backing onto the beach. I was not sure I would be well enough to go, I did, plenty of walking and a swim in the sea(I had a wet suit). feeling better by the day as the side effects of the chemo wears off.  Sarah organised the weekend she did an amazing job, ans we all really enjoyed it.
