This morning followed the usual pattern - an early walk and trip to Radiocity. On arrival I saw Dr Rowena who thought I was looking very well for this stage of the treatment. I was complaining about feeling like a 90 year old with so many aches and pains and stiffness but she assured me this was very usual; it's not a side effect of the radiotherapy but a residual effect of the chemo. "This is not your new normal" Rowena told me; music to my ears. My skin is starting to react, right on cue, but Rowena thinks it should hold up OK. I'm itchy, itchy, itchy!
After our coffee, Robbie and I drove home for an afternoon of jobs for Rob and work for me, which included hooking up with two of my PhD students, Sophie in Melbourne and Emily in Arusha.
We spent a quite night tonight, trying to digest the latest racist antics of our political class - Trump, Bannon, Hanson et al - I feel like I've got whiplash.
I'm wearing the chain and pendant Meg sent me during my Chemo treatment which includes a picture of Mum and me. I'm really missing Mum today and this helped me feel very close to her.

Wow, I had to google Arusha...
