sunshine

Hi Blogsphere,

Sorry I seem to have abandoned you for nearly a month again. Don't know where the time goes....

Not much has been happening in that month, well i'm sure it has but I really can't remember anything exciting.

This sunny weather has been doing me the world of good, it's seems to be just right for my lungs. Not damp & not too hot and humid seems to suit. Me and the cat have been enjoying the sunshine. The problem with having a cat with white ears is that she needs to have suntan lotion on them which is a real battle. You have to get her in a headlock and put the lotion on.

My other pets have not been doing so well. I have an aquarium and I came home the other day to find 7 dead fish in my tank..... not a pretty sight. Think we must have had some sort of pollutant in there.

Life seems to be chugging along. Mainly working and enjoying the sunshine with a book. I'm still really proud of myself that I manage to continue to work full time. I won an award at work for being a good manager through caring and conversation...... think my team must have been having a good day when they filled in the survey!! To be honest they are a great group of people so fairly easy to manage.

I seem to have been out a lot recently, cocktail nights, dinners out etc. It's been fun.

I'm coming up to being another year older soon..... sigh, I had to really think this morning how old i'm going to be this year. 36!!! wow how did that happen?? Having a BBQ with friends so should be a good one. I think i'm going to start making a list of things I want to achieve this year.

One of the things that will be achieved is a trip to Iceland & Norway. Not long now until we go. I've been practising with my camera and hopefully I'll come back and be able to fill my blog with pictures of beauty. We've booked all of our trips, got all the medical letters I need, and are just working out what clothes to take. I really can't wait!!

It's been a real weight off of my mind having made my decision about transplant. I had a letter from the transplant consultant yesterday with the report from my last appointment. As I expected nothing has changed on my echo since my last echo, so all good.

One of my friends went for an initial visit at the transplant clinic yesterday, unfortunately her heart & body isn't well enough to cope with a transplant. It's just brought back to my mind how narrow the window of opportunity is.

Better sign off now blogsphere, Mr P is back from golf. Stay well & enjoy the sunshine. Will post soon x
