Kezzerbird.....body boarding again!!!!!!

1 minute read time.

The weather has been glorious today, loads of sunshine in Cornwall, certainly makes a change, it is normally always raining here!!!!  It is on days like today when I actually forget I have cancer and I forget what as happend over 2 and a half years. Luckily, I am feeling extremely well but then chemo was only two days ago and the sickness hasn't started yet. Well off I went body boarding again with dave my next door neightbour at Polzeath, it was more challanging this time, the waves were a lot bigger and stronger, quite a few times I caught the waves just right and set off like a missile almost ending up in the carpark, it was great and still no great white shark up on the cliff playing a chello!!!!!!! I am kicking myself really, I grew up right by the sea and it has taken me all these years to get back in it again, but it is like I've never been away from it. I'm hooked!!!!!! I still have to master getting out of my wetsuit, it isn't easy you know, I peel it off and when I reach my feet, that is when I have a fight on my hands!!!!! So right at this moment I feel brilliant and totally refreshed, Dave is completely knackered and he is the healthy one out of the two of us and 4 years younger than me!!!! Right my lovelies, I am going to make myself a bucket of tea, have my morphine and watch The Bucket List (great film, I got yesterday) in bed, so love and hugs to those who want them as usual.....Carol xxx

I am not dying of cancer, I am living with it.

    morning Carol,  hope you are feeling well this morning - after body boarding - fantastic!  I too love the sea, I know there is no comparison but my sister lives in Leigh-on-Sea and me/mine went to see her a few weeks ago.  I took my picnic bag filled with goodies/bot of wine and just sat on a bench and watched/listened/smelled the sea air.  It was lovely.  Although there lots of people passing up and down the front I couldn't hear them I was just way out there on the mud flats listening/looking at all the nature around me.  Just a strange thought do you have to wear clothes under those wet suits and do they really keep you warm in that cold water?  I would look like a big seal if I wore one of those, but I'd have fund trying to do the surf!  I wish you extremely well and have a great weekend.  Ann x

    Hi Ann......a big seal eh girl, I am not sure what I look like in my wet suit but then I don't really care!!! I ware a bra and my knickers and a vest thingy that stops the suit rubbing around the neck which is a good thing because my portacath sticks out a fair way on my neck and yes the suit is quite warm, you get water coming in at various places but that warms up quickly. I can recommend anyone doing body boarding if you have the chance and the energy, it is so much fun and you exercise to which is good for the old joints, I love it and I love being near the sea. Hopefully going again on Sunday if I can xx

    Sounds as if you should have a new name - kezzerbird the torpedo - after your water fun! Hope you're not feeling too tired today, and that the sickness isn't too bad when it kicks in. Love and big hugs (as long as you're not still soggy from the sea!), Val X
