Castlenel "dramas" bank holiday weekend.Old trafford

Hi blog,

Sandra loved her red kindle cover with the little torch on it :-) and the vouchers to top up with some books.

We met the oncologist on Friday. Not an easy visit although they were all very good people.

We went for a trip on the Mersey Ferry after ,and the sun was shining and we really enjoyed it.

I felt a bit shook after the hospital.it is always good to get it over with.

More x rays when we come back from Spain, the another injection,then October 19th back to the oncologist.


They are very good at monitoring John and keeping it touch;  I imagine as time goes on and they are happy with progress we will settle into the three monthly appointments.

I had a lovely Saturday.

Andrew collected me late morning and we drove to Salford.He told me about all the things they did in Edinburgh . I loved listening to it all ,felt I was there  . I must have been about Andrew's age the last time  I was at the festival.Where does the time go?
We had coffee with Philip and Neil and a meeting about Phil's 70th it all sounds as if it is going to plan.

Looking forward to having the apartment to share with everyone .

We walked to Old Trafford, stopping at a local hotel for a drink.The rain was torrential at times but we managed to stay relatively dry.

It was very exciting being there again, being part of such a big crowd,  seeing all the players warming up then the game starting.I love it.The first half was unbelievably exciting,second half, not so much, but we did win and that was good.

We drove home and  when I got back John had had a good restful day and felt like going out to Fact for a drink,which we did,and it was good.

The whole day out did me a lot of good.

Phil arrived in Castlenel yesterday and we had a very successful AGM. All good .I don't think there was any stress at all. people were able to laugh at the tough bits more than we used to.Good for all of us.We are a credit to ourselves and each other.

Phil had a few calamities today, the main one being the electricity was cut off.

Thanks to himself and with Sophie's help it was back on later in the day :-)
Sara and her sister came in this morning and according to Phil were whirlwinds, got things back in shape,after the paying guests left, very quickly,even the power cut did not phase them, did what they could then came back later and will come again in the morning.
A large part of the shopping for M&C is done thanks to Phil and Frank.
Phil sounded much more relaxed this evening,so all is well that ends well.
Market for him and Frank tomorrow for the veggies!

It is remarkable for me to know all this is happening ,and being well done too.

I can relax now, knowing Castlenel and our paying guests are good hands ,as indeed La Comparsa is. We are blessed in Castalla.

I am hoping that my locket will arrive tomorrow,my bracelet came last week, this finishes off the insurance claims after the burglary

Really looking forward to being in Castlenel again and being part of the festival.

Will miss Philip,but I am so happy he is going ti Napels to spent time with Carmela.

Night night blog !
