Not so bad

Feeling very guilty now about my miserable blog but that's the way it is on this side - up and down - but overall more up than down. Heard an excellent Woman's Hour this am about the shock of diagnosis and it summed it all up really - the reality of it comes in waves. Happy denial fuelled by distraction only goes so far. Anyway - two good nights of sleep have done wonders for my energy levels and I fairly shot around JL today - not only changed the red towels - for more red towels - hopefully not shedders - but also managed a bit of Xmas shopping - In October! Un heard of. Paid a visit to the new 'food hall' which is a rather disappointing cross between Waitrose and Selfridges. Rows of ordinary Waitrose food laid out so you can't find it. The only noticeable difference was the posh patisserie counter and the cheese room (a la fromagerie). It was also completely packed with queues everywhere.

Kids meant to do swimming and ballet tonight but both too tired to move. Luc said we were all exhausted, 'because we're tired of you being ill'. Perhaps my bad week is rubbing off on them.

So while technaupair is upstairs skyping her boyfriend on the webcam - we are chilling out and watching Ugly Betty. Much better than swimming....
