MY WILD GARDEN

Quick update...got let home yesterday afternoon! Fantastic. Had a two units of blood on Wednesday and the haemoglobin count is holding, or at least dropping slower than before. By pure chance, coinciding with my departure from room 14 was the arrival of my man! So had someone to take me home, which was great as I am very weak and shaky. Have spent the day on the sofa and slowly padding about the house. My garden is wild, long and overflowing. Needs some serious trimming back. But don't really care, it is full of colour,and lovely to look at.  Lots of things still coming out: roses, lavender, hibiscus, geraniums, potentilla, fuscia and more. The sun has been shining all day. Woke up to the sound of a blackbird singing. I can see blue sky and clouds. Watched Wimbledon and now waiting for tomorrow's big match. I wonder if Murray can pull it off this year...I hope so, despite the fact that getting a smile from him is like getting blood out of a stone!

I am back to the HOP Clinic on Monday for a blood test, chances are I will need another transfusion, but I hope this time my transfusions can be managed in the HOP, allowing me time at home. Fingers crossed. Will update again soon, but just wanted to say, for the time being, all is right with the world ( well almost, still big crackly cough and red cell problems will take weeks rather than days to sort). Summer shadows falling across my sitting room floor, doors flung open and a breeze tickling round my bare feet. High fives. Back soon. tch xx

Hi5! I was in a head scanner for my ear Friday night. If you're claustrophobic it's probably a nightmare. I made a home made seafood pizza on my return. No cheese. Thin base. Onion, garlic, toms, parsley. Prawns, mussels, anchovies. Shredded basil on top.Glugged primitivio with it. Enjoy thine Wimbledon.

Great news Tessa. Hope you are enjoying the gorgeous weather. I've been swimming in the sea. Initially cold but your body soon acclimatises and its very refreshing. Pop went in too! Lots of love
