Dear Jesus, would you mind, I asked,
Could we create a worthier past?
Irrational solution; fun ahead,
Diversion, revolution, rub out the things I dread,
If I can hope,
If you can cope,
This viral doubt won't spread…
Dear Lord I know I’m needy,
I’m vain and daft and greedy,
I can be nice, if you can cure,
Is that God's plan? Not sure,
Transaction futility,
Life viability,

As usual the staff were fabulous and I had a decent wait - I really can't praise the Freeman enough. It seems I accidentally picked the perfect place to live if I must insist on having cancer.
I got to catch up with my nutty oncologist who had a good poke of my arm and told me she was delighted by the progress...
Haven't written my blog in a while, not since we got back from Corsica nearly a month ago. I was going to write a reflective, musing piece about the solace of walking, but this might turn into something else, as there are other, more pressing, things on my mind right now. I was a great walker - John and I have done several long distance hikes in this country, we've been accustomed to doing long walks around the beautiful countryside here on a daily basis, and I've also done the Inca Trail and...
