No sign yet of another contract, but feelers are still out there.  I have been up to London for my penultimate ECP session, which went as uneventfully as usual, with the last one scheduled for January 2011.  January 2011 &#8211; seems just round the corner!<\/p>\n<p>I have also had a really bad cold for the last few days.  I always get at least one really nasty one a year (since the transplant &#8211; but small price to pay!) but I think I picked this one up from Livvy.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.boraston.net\/blog\/images\/Li_11_10_t.jpg\" alt=\"Olivia\" align=\"right\" \/>I have been on (play) school pick up duty a couple of times, bringing her back here, cooking her some tea (Scrambledy eggs!) and looking after her until Vikki can pick her up.  It feels really odd hanging round with other parents &#8211; a real travel back in time!  And it has been a while since I posted a photo of Livvy here &#8211; quite a change &#8211; she is nearly 4, born if you recall, when I was having a couple of health snagettes in Southampton General.<\/p>\n<p>And with Christmas round the corner, it will soon be time to get out the decorations, and decorate the blog in its traditional festive manner!  Watch this space.<\/p>\n<p>So all ticking along &#8211; may things continue Onwards and Upwards!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I suppose we are no worse off (and probably better) than most of the country, but this was the scene that greeted us this morning.
