Good Results

Following on from our last posting, we went shopping and I found the plumbing parts I needed to try to finish fitting the hand basin in the guest bedroom.  What I hadn't bargained for were the carpet tiles which we bought at the same time!  Just a little more pressure on me to get the room finished.  However, plumbing isn't my favourite pastime and, as expected, it became a question of curing that persistent little leak which became a dribble, which became a slight weep.  After more plumbing fittings I seem to be there! A result at last.

The weather is very warm and dry at the moment and , as well as the plumbing, I've helped the gardener as she's trying to get out there as much as she feels able.

Suse's working on recovering the beds which haven't really been touched for one to two years, so there's lots of clearing out and cutting back.  It's nice for her to be doing something.
We also had another 'result' this week when we went back to the Bridge club at Gourdon on Wednesday for the first time in over a year.  Sue had been worried about sitting and concentrating for 4 hours solid but we did it, although three and a half hours would have been enough!  And we were pleased that we didn't disgrace ourselves.

The final 'result' was Sue's latest blood test which she had on Thursday.  The marker for the cancer has now dropped from 39 to 28 when the target is less than 31 (it had been 400 in the early days).  Needless to say we are very, very pleased.  Sue has to go to see her specialist on Monday to discuss the results with him and find out how things will proceed but it would be nice to think that she can have some respite from the chemo!
