With Max with me, I decided to try my run route, but walking. We had a really nice walk in beautiful sunshine, and I am proud that I have built up to be able to walk my run route. I am walking 3 miles each morning, and building up a muscle base.
New outfit
We then headed off to Sainsbury's - I am checking out the supermarkets for their organic food range. The other reason for going there was to get Katy some school shorts. They did not have any of Katy's favourite shorts in stock, but Max and I found a sale rail. I went home with a pair of floral trousers, and a dark blue t-shirt, and a scarf. I spent a total of £19. Max got a fab dress.
Sainsbury's sell a good range of organic food
On organic food, I had to conclude that Sainsbury's offers a good range of organic products, and they offer online shopping. Right now, it looks like I am going to use this shop as my main provider, and I will top up from Unicorn. This is my way of managing my money. I have looked at Asda (very poor range), and Morrisons (basic range, but handy as local shop).
We had breakfast in the café and read the papers. It was very relaxing.
When we get home, I take my anti-sickness drugs and have a sleep. Chemotherapy drugs when I am awake.
Sorting out my bedroom
I spent a while clearing two drawers of my filing cabinet. I have two more to do, but enjoyed pottering my way through different files and throwing lots of stuff away.
Katy has her birthday barbecue
In the evening, I call Katy to wish her a happy birthday BBQ. This is the first time I have spoken to her since I left Herm. She tells me that she loves me. The Katy tells me about how she has caught large crabs. She is happy and enjoying her BBQ on the beach. Martha tells me about the crabs too. I am very happy that they are enjoying themselves, and don’t appear to be missing me at all. Katy will be nine years old tomorrow.
The crazy fly
Max and I have a quarrel with a large fly that is buzzing crazily around her bedroom. It leaves her room, and guess what, it is buzzing around my room. We open the windows wide and turn off the lights to encourage it to fly out of the room. Max guards the door. I pick up a folder and smack it to whack it outside and throw the contents of my folder across the room. The fly has gone, hopefully not my documentation! Max and I are laughing about it, and considering checking that I have not thrown any papers out of the window.
John Lewis Refund
JL refunded all delivery charges and apologised. I now wait for local "expert" to have a go...
