Tidying up …

All bar the shouting ...

Yesterday I spent some time working (messing about) with the layout of the blog. I think that I now have it much as I want it - I depend on you getting back to me with suggestions / improvements. The current 'arrangement' will cease at 23:59(UK) on Saturday January 28 2012 and will immediately be followed by the new / revised arrangement. Applying the well used rambling, grumbling, frivolous and often plain stupid style, that (some of) you have endured for so long, I will post my final blog update tomorrow. Thereafter, every few days, focusing (only) on P and her treatment etc. the blog updates will (should) take on a more formal (hope still interesting) format - only time will tell.

Despite my thinking I had sorted out everything, I have experienced problems with Twitter - not with the Twitter account associated with this blog (thankfully), but when setting up a new, additional, user name to use in any other blog that I may start up.

You read that correctly - 'if you don't know where you are going - how will you know when you get there?'. One of my goals, this year, is to travel - anywhere.  I aim to travel across a country (or, depending on the size, part of it) - it's early days yet and I might try and pair up with someone (M or F) that is thinking in the same way - anyhoo, that's the big plan.  Hints, tips & suggestions (or invites) will be gratefully received. Looks like I am not the only one with this idea …’TravBuddy’

Turning to P (so to speak), everything is much the same. P remains in good spirits and I am expecting her to climb out of her bed, in the next few minutes, in order she gets herself to the doc.'s - where she has to have blood samples taken (pre-chemotherapy and, also, to identify any diabetes issues).  I will update as soon as I know any more. Yesterday P visited the big store (Tesco), I attended with her, in order to buy groceries and chat with the people that she knows. It's good to see her getting out, meeting others and keeping herself active.  What was slightly worrying was to see her supporting herself, almost leaning over, the store's shopping trolley - I asked, as usual, if she wanted me to push the thing but she declined. As the weather is so cold, once we had returned home, P was encouraged to sort herself out / get comfortable in front of the fire & TV (no problems there!). Once she had eaten her dinner (appetite still very good) then she promptly fell asleep. This morning P tells me that she has had a good night and, later today, is looking forward to getting out.
