August 17th: It creeps closer


I am so looking forward to seeing the family again on Thursday. I managed to find somewhere for Dan to stay with a neighbour just up the road so he doesn't have to make do with a sleeping bag.
Chris' brother Andrew and his wife Nancy came just for this weekend. We were amazingly lucky with the weather. The forecast was grim and consisted of rain and cloud, but fortunately we had a reasonable day yesterday and today was even sunny. Last night they took us for a meal at the Dairyman's Daughter in Arreton, which was lovely. Today we had a picnic down at the beach hut and I couldn't resist going in for a swim. It must be to do with my blood being thinner, but I find it increasingly difficult to warm up afterwards. Nonetheless I enjoyed the swim despite the discomfort that followed. It seemed worth it. It isn't pleasant feeling that my physical activity is curtailed because of these physical issues, but when I look at it objectively I can see that it is just terrific to be able to lead an 'almost' normal life; so I musn't really grumble.
Once again I am receiving positive feedback from those who have read my book which is constantly heartening and keeps me going.
