A better day

After a very groggy start to the day and more tears over blood tests and medication Celia perked up significantly around lunchtime. Some playtime with Max was followed by a substantial lunch of fish cakes devoured enthusiastically. In the afternoon there was a lovely visit by kindergarten friend Sarah and some good news on the continued decimation of the 'blasts' (cancerous cells). Fingers crossed she may get some time outside of hospital in the coming days.
It was an absolutely beautiful autumn day in Melbourne (27 degrees) so I took the opportunity to escape Leukemia for a few hours and take Mum, Dad, Max and Mabel to Mornington for a dip in the sea and some fish and chips. Lovely. Followed this with a comedy show and a couple of beers with a friend in the city. Walking along Southbank on a balmy night was a great reminder of the wonders that Melbourne offers and a welcome distraction for a couple of hours.
Time changes tonight, so bye bye summer. Hello winter...and good luck Ulster in the Heineken Cup.
