Mas yay Margaret! I have high hopes.......your walk sounds lovely. I used to ride there when I was at uni and go on drunken camping trips
none of this was with John Inverdale of course because as I mentioned on fbook no one remembers the little prat though he comes to our sports team reunions and acts like we are his long lost friends, and invents stories about what we all did together, it is really very strange,and he is also a very strange shade of orange. We all sit nursing our hangovers the next morning discussing what we supposedly did with him. Maybe we were pissed the whole time, if you remember it you weren't there, but as a friend said after JI had reminisced about watching Wimbledon in the tele in his room "it just doesn't stack up, I didn't like to say I never had a tele in my room!" I keep bumping into him in the park walking dogs, and he always greets me by name which is 
I am so looking forward to the next encounter!! I shall do a Margaret 
if he had known me and my uni friends, the Spinster Soc Netball team, he would have been reconstructed and would never have come out with crap like that.....
gigs of course you don't trust your body but the doctors are going to be super vigilant if it has shown them up, it's not going to get away with it again..... Hope dressing change isn't too ouchy.
I have a suggestion to follow on from your love of Howard's End. Seachange is sort of the Aussie version with Aussie beaches. I looked online but they don't do the DVD but it is on YouTube. It saw me through chemo.... And there is a gorgeous orange man in it. He was in LOTR as well, as Faramir, and so made it into the team in my visions....
Kitkat Smee and I are tumour twinnie's. I too had a nasty 1.7cm one but DCIS throughout my breast, as ER + as it is possible to be.. I t definitely didn't become palpable until the month I found it, and hadn't shown up on a mammogram a couple of months before, Consultant said it isn't uncommon not to show up on mammograms. I always felt (more hard Science talk) that the most important thing was closing down my hormones and never felt chemo was anything more than belt and braces. Even after chemo threw me into menopause my other breast was a still a bit of a bag of marbles, as opposed to a very painful bag of marbles it was before. When I started on the Tamoxifen the marbles all disappeared, and it has remained nice and squishy ever since now my Consultant says he might not even recommend chemo for a tumour like mine.
Malt I was supposed to be flying off to Queensland Australia three days after I found my lump, on 3 August. As we say on here, Cancer has a way of knowing these things and cropping up just at the wrong time. We made it to Oz though the following Easter, I am sure you will be having a great holiday soon.
Second day at Hampton Court Flower Show today
I hope everyone has a lovely day.
