May sunshine




Wow! what fantastic weather... sunshine wrap round for days. Done wonders for my garden - as you can see...poppies grown from seed two years ago - I am very proud! Had a scare mid month with white blood count dive-bombing for some unknown reason. Spent a very tense 24 hours stressing that it had all returned - but after a long waiting session at the Haematology Day Unit in Guys (5 hours...) I finally got the all clear. Was I relieved and then some! Monthly clinic last monday revealed white blood count still a bit below normal, but has recovered somewhat from the mid-month drop. Consultants don't seem too concerned, infact I would go as far as saying "pretty damn gung-ho" - but then I guess my blood count means more to me than to them - I am very precious with my numbers - whether they are going up or down! Probably been overdoing it with Open Studios - have been getting very tired sorting everything out. Thank God for Luigi who turned up last a week and acted as an extra 4 hands, plus wonderful cook and mender of broken plug chain! Successful weekend just gone - and hopefully another one to follow - over 600 visitors into the studio... Hope all well right round the globe. Thanks for checking in. Next test June 6th.

  1. Lovely to see an English garden. I'm missing the summer by the sounds of it. Glad all is well despite hiccups and unruly numbers.
