I then had the pleasure of joining Andy for an early walk around Centennial Park. It was great to catch up and find out everything that's been happening in her busy world. She is launching a major report next week into addressing sexual violence on university campuses which has been a huge effort and will be such an important contribution to a critical issue. The reaction, in my view, will be interesting to say the least - universities will have to admit the extent of the problem for the first time, while trying to put a spin on their lame efforts to date to address it.
Radiocity was the next stop. I got there right on time but it didn't run quite as smoothly as the previous two days. After setting me up and leaving me alone in the room for the machine to do it's work, the radiologists realised that the machine had frozen so I had to get up, cover up and sit in the waiting room until the technician was able to fix the machine. Half an hour later I was back in place, with my arms stretched out uncomfortably above my head, and received my dose for the day.
Given the hold up, I was worried I'd be too late to catch Angus at his athletics carnival, but I got there just in time to see him 'run' the 800ms. It's clear Rob and I haven't bred great athletes: tongue in cheek, and in good humour, Angus gave himself the overall award for losing every race - but was still pleased to have contributed points to his house by participating. I was proud of him!Last stop for the day was my first haircut with the wonderful Blake. It's not that I have long hair, obviously, but its growing back thick and wooly and I want to keep it under control until all the 'chemo hair' grows out, which will take a few months. It was nice to visit the hairdressers - it made me feel like I was really getting back to normal.
When I got home having collected Angus en route I was met with a mess, thanks to Miss Molly. I've been working away on my crocheting that Maddie got me started on last week, but while I was out for the day Molly obviously became inquisitive and thought it would be fun to upend my knitting box and play with the wool - maybe she's a dogcat! Thankfully, she didn't unravel my painstaking work!
Robbie came home tonight - hooray! Molly was beside herself with excitement to see him. He's feeling very pulled between being here and leaving dear Auntie Beryl who is making some progress but still in ICU. He liked his date loaf tin I bought him as a welcome home present! I feel some more baking coming on...
Today I'm wearing a lovely Tiffany's piece - an Atlas cube - given to me by Rob and the boys for my birthday some years ago - interesting that my memory is much less sharp on my necklaces compared to my earrings. I remember who gave them to me, but not the precise details.
