    Back in the office today.

    Where the hell did the last two weeks disappear too?

    At least it's a two day week. Browsing cycling related breaks for late summer is called for later

    I'm waiting in the dentist - again. Since I have so much time I've filled in a feedback form tellin them I'm changing dentist if they can't be on f*****g time. Different tooth this time. Then into work. Then out for a drink with some wierdos I met on the internet - what can possibly go wrong? :P

    Morning all,
    I have my traditional mild Thursday hangover, at least it should fade by early afternoon and pave the way for more beer later. Two day hangovers suck big donkey balls. Bit blowy on the way in and some big black clouds ahead of me, didn't get rained on though. Another day of mediocrity to get through and beers later. Thankfully no dentist for me today.
    Onwards and upwards...

    Morning, climbing for the first time in years down in Carlisle yesterday evening. I've taken most of the skin off my hands and I can barely move my arms. Definitely from the climbing...

    Office day again, surprise surprise. I thought it was Friday today, disgusted to realise my mistake. Especially excited for the weekend as its the first time in a month that I wont have to sleep in a tent, plus there is a local beer festival going on on saturday, better brush the road bike off

    Boss still away, but stuff to do, which is a ball ache. Forgot my lock for later (well, I say forgot - stepson rode to school and took the lock with him) - V68 do you have a spare, or can I piggy back off yours, or will we be outside and it doesn't matter? Will go and get coffee in a minute, as I'm a bit sleepy.

    Morning, woke up to dry and bright then it got dark had a very odd clap of thunder and it hard for all of ten minutes.
    Said thunder was loud enough to trigger numerous house alarms so no one can use the excuse they didn't hear their alarm.

    Todays plans involve very little office work wise more shopping for puppy things online and having office dog randomly get up and lay on my feet.

    We'll probably be outside, but I'll take a couple of locks just in case.

    This is good. This is the beginning after all the infections and chemo, the uncertaintly and the long journey to get to this point. You know what happens when she spikes a temperature or gets an infection. It's all pretty familiar. This is where you start to look forward. You're in Andorra heading West to Pau into a head wind having started in Perpignan.
    Oh and what an innocuous procedure for such a significant event.
    I had my transplant on a Thursday. It was meant to be Good Friday but they brought it forward on account of potential staff issues on Good Friday.
    No GVHD or CMV issues with Stem cells either. The magic starts today.

    Me re-assembling wood burner me as it's back from engineery walla. Then grass cutting methinks. It's not raining like it was supposed to and the sun has popped out.
    What's it like over there Gazza? (I might not get a response given his post holiday depression).

    Laters.

    Thanks, all. Today, apart from being symbolic and actually receiving the stem cells, should be a bit of an anticlimax. All the scary bit happens in the next couple of weeks when we find out whether Eve and her new cells like each other meanwhile hoping that there are no uninvited guests to the party in the form of bugs/fungi/viruses and also hoping the the wrecked and sick "ex" cells don't make a reappearance.

    If he does, take him for a walk and then throw him off the top of the tallest building in the hospital. It's only fair, just deny all knowledge everything will be fine. Best not say anything to young Miss MRS about it, she'll just assume he's an arsehole, which he clearly is.

    Slightly overcast, but warm all the same. Hope to get home at a decent time , as I feel that my contributions to this spectacular place have not been up to scratch of late.

    Still haven't bought a bike.

    I am the biggest let down of all let downs. Anything I say will sound like an excuse but I am genuinely ill and I'm never ill. Currently trying to negotiate an early release from work. I did consider turning up later to say hello, drinking a coke and shooting off but blah blah blah. Anyway, I'm a let down but I swear I'll be at the next one, whether I'm invited or not.

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever...
    We'll probably have more fun without you anyway. :P

    Get well soon

    No kids yet thankfully! I did a tiny bit as a teenager but was never very serious about it, a friend of mine has got into it recently so I thought I'd join him. Luckily it's not hard to pick up where you left off when you were rubbish in the first place :wink:

    age, though the beers followed by two bottles of wine each may have exacerbated the effect of the years

    My mum tried to fly to the alps this morning wearing shoes she wears for gardening. This lead to an hour long search because they found traces of fertiliser on her shoes. As you can guess, I have been extra sympathetic via text all day...
