The weekend

You better not sit here too long - my wife will be back in a minute!

We had another great weekend! Saturday was a grey day but it was a shopping and cooking day anyway so it didn't bother us.  Daniel, our grandson, came over for dinner - his requests were French hot dogs, seafood egg rolls and bread and butter pudding with ice cream! A strange mixture but we really enjoyed it. Alan made the bread and butter pudding! I have competition in the kitchen now, just have to measure out the ingredients for him otherwise I don't know what things would taste like or whether they'll reach the bowl!

Sunday was a beautiful day, we were meeting David and Jenny for lunch so we said we'd catch a ferry over to Circular Quay. We were early so went round twice and had our own Harbour Cruise for $2.50!

We had a lovely lunch at a French restaurant in the Rocks - the markets were on so that was a little bonus for me.  Then after lunch we went to what used to be one of our favourite Irish pubs when we lived down here before. A pint of Guiness and a band playing Irish music, what more could you ask for? A great time was had by all. (See photo and Alan's caption)

As you can see, he's still doing well - no hair loss yet and the steroids have been reduced again. Still eating very well and not experiencing any nausea as yet.  We hope this continues for a while or even longer.

Monday was back to our normal routine for radiation - there are lots of people we see every day so it's quite chatty in the waiting room.  Everyone is so positive.  We had a lovely walk home in the sunshine for the first time, it's been raining every other time!  Got back to Jill's, did her ironing and cleaned the windows (have to earn our keep somehow, lol) then made garlic pizzas for a nibble before dinner.
