We've had good news from the hospital, the lump has not got any bigger since the last scan which means it is almost certainly scar tissue. We are celebrating quietly and with great humility - if anything this year has taught us it is that. There but for the grace of God etc...

I am taking number 1 and only son on a Uni trip to Ingerland, dahn saaath tommorrow. Cannot describe to you how important this is, that he likes the place and they like him. I dont want him to be a drifter, finding himself in a class room with a load of teenagers at age 30 and wondering 'how did I get here?' - like his mother did! Of course he believes farty old mum never had a wild moment in her ancient life..... i think parents only become human beings to their children when their children become parents themselves...!

Decided to end the war against the twonk in honour of this day, it was becoming boring anyway.

Still Juicing, man!
