I haven't written for a few days, too much coming and going at my house to concentrate. The builders are now in and have taked the roof off the extension and are to take the ceiling joists out tomorrow. We have had to clear out the extension of computer and shelves of ornaments plus other stuff. I am really glad they got started though, thought it would never happen. The walls are already rising for the top half now.

My friend M's mum died a few days ago, a lot more quickly than she had planned. It is fortunate that she and her parents and family had had chance to talk beforehand.

My friend D, who was also being investigate for cancer had a huge cyst removed last week and is feeling tons beter, though tired.

T's husband came home from hospital yesterday afternoon and did well following his cancer surgery and my friend G's mood has lifted. On Tuesday we went to join a new social group and she is intending to go out with them on Saturday morning playing golf of all things. This is fantastic news as she had not felt safe to go out without a lot of support for a long time.

Today I had to do a presentation on a study day to a load of ward nurses about pain stuff. Unfortunately I had not prepared as well as I might as the previous evening at work was spent sorting out problems, time I had set aside for prep. i will be better next time and I wasn't a total failure.

So I am lying awake thinking about all sorts of stuff. I need a few more invitations for the morning for my daughters 9th birthday party in a few weeks, I have stuff to post and some references to write and post, I have to sort all my sale items out for the school fair on Saturday and take the last few items down out of the downstairs room for the builders.

I have reading group tomorrow night. I hope to finish early tomorrow afternoon and do some of the things but also need to take the car into it's MOT appointment and I am drystone walling on Sunday. None of this I can avoid so I am writing a paper list and getting started now, then I will sleep :D

Night night to those still awake, otherwise have a good day :D
