I have an awake night with Martha, who has diarrhoea in the night. I wake up and it is light (with Martha next to me). I try to go back to sleep, but have to get up. Katy joins me, and we make pancakes with strawberries and cream. The soft fruit sweet flavour of the strawberries was delicious. Martha joins us and enjoys the pancakes too. Katy has finished her homework - she has copied a skeleton from the internet, as a skeletal Egyptian tomb raider, I think. Martha still has loads of homework to complete.
We put a film on the TV, and I have to go back to bed. I have managed my tablets well, and take Ondanstron when I get in bed, and take chemo tablets when I awake. Katy wakes me to help her write an application to join the school magazine group. This is the topic for Martha's homework, so we end up doing it all together. Hooray! One topic is completed.
Longford Park
I make ham and cheese toasties for lunch, on the understanding that I don't start cooking until both girls are dressed for an outing to the park. I have a spinach and avocado salad. We go to Longford Park - Martha and Katy are on their skates; I am happy to be walking.
Martha climber
They do have shoes with them as well, and they spend a lot of time climbing trees. Martha climbed down a piece of climbing wall, that I did not think she would be able to do. She is quite an impressive climber! There were overhangs that she had to negotiate, and I was underneath her wondering what I would do if she fell off! I would love to be able to take her to a climbing club, but this is simply not possible without a car.
More homework
Back at home, Martha starts to tackle her news journal. Katy is happily entertaining herself learning the words to Les Miserables songs. Martha is very disgruntled to be behind with her journal. We managed a little catching up, but she has a long way to go.
Swimming
Dave comes to take the girls swimming. Martha is feeling poorly again, and I agree to go with her. From swimming, I check both girls for nits. Martha is with me, in my bed now.
Have a good week :)
lots of love
