OMG I can't believe it, I've never been this far away from home.....
Its a miracle. In fact, there are a couple of miracles here.
The first, and most important, is that Molly's blood results this week are the best they have been since last August (and they were on their way UP then, not DOWN). She is fat and pink!!! Its brilliant. However, part of me is saying "hold on hold on they could go up next week". But she is brilliant.
The next thing is that I am so very, very lucky to have such brilliant friends. Nats is having Molly for me - and thats a big favour cos of all the meds and waking up in the night etc. I should feel guilty but I don't - I feel very, very grateful!!! Nats, you are wonderful and Molly is so excited cos she loves you to bits.
Ces, one of my oldest friends, was another one who didn't hesitate and offered to have Daisy for me. She has had her before but never overnight. Again, a big favour cos Daisy is quite insecure and needs lots of love n hugs and keeping busy. She also is majorly excited, although nervous that we are going away.
All of this means that.....
Shaun and I are going to a festival! Its amazing!!! We are going to be away for 2 days and a night! On our own, just us (well, and god knows how many festival goers that is!). If you are interested its www.earthwise-uk.com
We decided we are FAR too old to rough it in a tent and with communal loos though. Memories of Glastonbury '93 are still fresh in my mind (phew.... river of wee.....).
So we are taking Shauns Dodge truck!!! Its a nice big lorry, complete with a little kitchen area so we can put a mattress in the back (well, he said just a mattress, but I am adding stuff all the time, like a duvet (just a small necessity), and a chemical loo in what was the kitchen area. You know, like in caravans. And we have some gas so we can have a little whistling kettle and some tin mugs!! COOL!!!
How excited am I? ARGH!!! CANT WAIT.
p.s. my potatoes are growing. And my little greenhouse is working a treat - I have too many radishes though. mmm. Where can I put them!?!?!?

Yippee! Earthwise looks good fun. Try sticking your radishes just anywhere and letting them bolt - the flowers are pretty and you can eat the seed pods, which are delicious and crispy and fresh, a bit like mange tout peas. Very glad to hear that Molly's bloods are better, too :-) Elly x
