Friday… Let the sun shine!
Oct 17th 2008PeterGetting My Life Back!
And indeed it is a lovely morning – the sun is streaming in through my study window as I take a quick break from my next piece of coursework. However it has been a few months since I last posted a picture of Olivia – now 21 mionths old! One of the problems is that she is so lively it is difficult to get a good photograph of her, but here are a couple I took earlier this week, on Monday, just after Felicity returned from her trip to Uganda.
The week has been tinged with sadness after the news of Elspeth’s death last weekend, but I have been keeping her blog up to date and I will be going up to the funeral on Monday.
I have finally succumbed and created a Facebook account – interesting technology, although I’m not sure that for the majority of my use it will replace the telephone or e mail – still, got to keep up with things!
No news from the hospital about the PET scan, so on the basis of ‘no news is good news’ I am cautiously optimistic.
I am once again pondering the future of this blog. While I still enjoy writing it, it has moved away from its original purpose of keeping everyone updated about my treatment and the subsequent recovery, in recent months. Does it still have a purpose? I’m not sure, although I’m receptive to any comments!
Onwards and Upwards!

Yup. Keeps old scrotes in touch with your progress, a few smiles now and again and, of course, thoughts of ‘the Resort’.

Of course you’re pretty enough Richard – beauty is supposed to be in the eye of the beholder
At last – another ‘friend’ to add on facebook (I only have 8, signing up for an account to keep a fair weather eye on my daughter’s antics!)
L&H

I was viewed with deep suspicion by mine – we have agreed not to be ‘friends’ (on Facebook!)

lol! All her friends don’t want to be friends with me, but little do they know I get a rough idea of what they are up to from the comments they make on photos and stuff – and she’s a bit younger than yours!
Richard – you need to get a facebook account!!

Wow, how quickly Olivia is growing up! She looks so sweet!
I think that your blog is still good to read, so even though the original purpose may have changed – and it’s great that it has – it’s good to keep up with all the other things you’re getting up to.
I was sorry to read the sad news about your friend and hope thatall goes well tomorrow.
Lots of love,
Liz
