My Diary I have been Interviewed

1 minute read time.

May 18, 2010

What an exciting day this has been, as the Local Paper have been to see me and I have been interviewed and the reporter, Julie Collins, has taken down all my life history.

The photographer had me outside my Parkhome, taking so many photos of this way and that, I was so embarrassed in front of my neighbours.

Julie, from the Whitstable Times, was so sweet and was able to ask so many questions but I got so tongue tied as it is very difficult to remember so much of ones life and to get it all correct.

I think we did well and she was writting down every word as I spoke about our Golden Wedding and our children, my first record and our Motorbikes and my Meso. I cant wait to read the article in the paper.

Ray has been busy putting in a bracket for the flat screen TV in the M/H– all these little jobs take a time don’t they.

I took the dog for a walk, as I knew we were having visitors at 2pm and on the way back a delivery man went off leaving a parcel on the ground, so I picked it up and walked round and delivered it –I don’t know it gets worse.

 I passed my neighbours house and she had blown the Electric so I found Ray and he sorted it all out for her.

Mike opposite was cleaning her windows for her which is a good deed done.

But it has been a good day and I love surprises.

  • Hi Liz yes just as long as she says what i said and not what she thinks i said --we shall see

    But she was so sweet and yet I had to tell her what Meso was --so many people dont realize what Asbestos can do to a person.

    Well done Mavis.

    Is the paper out before the weekend?  Hard copy please!

    Ovacome want volunteers to talk about their experiences too, and I think I might be interested in publicising that, especially as they are having their special push at the moment.  Mind you, I can't  much from my young life, so that would be no good.  Can only help with the current situation - chemo memory (or old age!)

    See you Friday

    Viv

  • No next weekend Viv what is Ovacome???

    Chemo memory is that real as I cant talk and remeber words sometimes Im always searching for words!!

    See you Friday xxx

    Love mavis

  • In fact we should celebrate as I didnt think either of us would make the Show and we have ---hooray.
