Birthday bunnies and stinking, rotten colds


** HAPPY BIRTHDAY AIDEN & LYDIA **

Belated Gung Hay Fat Choy to my Chinese friends. Yesterday was Chinese New Year and today is another auspicious day as it is Aiden and Lydia's birthday!  Aiden and Lydia are two of my god-children - twins no less - and they are the grand old age of nine today.  As it is the Year of the Rabbit, I thought the above would be appropriate for them.  Excuse me while I give them a little shout out from this blog as I know they will enjoy the mention:


Happy, Happy Birthday Aiden and Lydia! 
I hope you had a fantastic day today and Partyman World was great fun!  I look forward to hearing all about it.  I hope you like the bunny boy and girl above.  I saw them and thought of you! I thought you might also like these pictures of Mickey Mouse and Princess Rapunzel as I understand you are big fans. Enjoy!  :-) 

Oh to be nine again...

Unfortunately, I have been feeling rubbish of late.  Mat, of all people, has given me his cold and I feel rotten. He never gets ill except for this week when he was kind enough to pass it on to me. Must have been all the Liverpool air from last weekend! 

We were a little worried about it yesterday as I felt really awful (what with my lowered immunity and all that) but having spent most of the morning today in hospital it's all good.  I had a hospital appointment anyway and my consultant didn't seem too concerned about my cold - have been told to rest up and to keep an eye on it. I suppose the fact that my white blood cells are doing what they are supposed to be doing (fighting infection) is a good thing. 

The rest of my blood stats are again excellent so everyone is happy.  I have the joy of a bone marrow biopsy at the end of the month which will give more of an indicator of how successful my treatment has been after the three month mark so looking forward to that...!?!  Apparently, I get another one after six months so it's like looking forward to a blue moon appearing except abit more painful!

Anyway, I'm off to have a Lemsip and to talk to a couple of nine year olds and their mummy about Partyman World. How come they didn't have anything like this when I was nine?! 

Come on England, although I'm not really interested in the rugby - not the right shaped balls for me ;-)

Over and out for now.
