Today is the last day of my terminal leave from the Royal Navy. Strange to think that tomorrow I will be a civilian! But is has been great fun, and as one door or chapter closes, another one will open!<\/p>\n
On the more mundane, I also had another two days of ECP, much faster than the earlier sessions as I am now on the ‘large’ kits that take more blood per cycle, with fewer cycles. However again my trip home was delayed – this time rather tragically by a fatality on the line at Earlsfield station, on the main line back down to Winchester. However I did eventually get a train out, and Rachael was able to collect me from the station (payback after years of ferrying her to and fro!)<\/p>\n
The weekend was quiet(ish). I did lend some moral support to Caroline and Gabor at a local fund raising function (for a youth football team) but it was a bit dire, so having bought the obligatory raffle tickets, we bailed out to our local pub, met up with mark and Sue and had more nachos! I am getting better with spicy food, lots of jalapeno chillies, which I managed without too much difficulty. I used to be very fond of Tex-Mex, particularly fajitas, but I doubt that I could have managed them over the last three years. Perhaps it is time to try again.<\/p>\n
So, on many levels this time, … Onwards and Upwards!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
