Velcade Cycle 5 Day Two... and a holiday plan

FL has his Velcade infusion this afternoon. He didn't receive his planned 10am infusion until 2.30pm on Monday...! Needless to say, he was a very grumpy man by the time he got away from the hospital, clutching a complaint form.

He has been speeding on Dexy's this week, getting up several times in the night (because he can't lie still) and telling me long rambling stories into the early hours when all I want to do is sleep!

But his cough has gone (hooray!) and his bowels are operating (hooray!).

We are planning a holiday for Easter. Off to the Highlands again. He wants me to climb An Teallach with him. This is a project which is way beyond either of us at our current levels of fitness, and he knows this. However, he says he will be happy just to show me the mountain. Which is just as well because I wouldn't want him to get all depressed ten metres up when we are both gasping for breath and I am begging for chocolate!

I am very excited to have found a (static) Airstream caravan like these in the area which will be available to rent for that week for the first time ever - woo hoo! The owners have just finished building their eco-house (oooh!) and are moving out of the caravan into the house. FL refuses to be impressed by style credentials, but I do enjoy the prospect of unusual holiday accommodation. I can see myself now, knitting away in the spring sunshine next to the Airstream, with amazing scenery all around!

This sounds lovely - and that caravan holiday looks perfect!

Now that does sound good and always lovely to have something to look foward to during the winter months. Spring and all that brings - let's hope it's kind to our men.
