To go or not to go?
For weeks I have been dithering; should I or should I not take advantage of MTL’s daughter’s visit and nip into the next county to visit our nearest son and his family for a couple of nights? MTL was all in favour as was his daughter. And when the nurse came this week and checked his progress she thought it was fine. It’s all booked and the plan is we see the chemo doctor Monday lunchtime and then MTL drops me at the station to get a train to Warminster and picks up his daughter who has travelled from Norfolk. Then I return on Wednesday – just two nights away.
It will be lovely to see all my son’s family including his two step - grandchildren, one of whom I have yet to meet. The four cats are good value and we usually manage a walk on Salisbury Plain.
We are due to start the second cycle today, our usual nurse won’t be here (but there is a replacement) as she is organising a big event for ‘Help the Heroes’ at our local Marine camp. When I asked her how many cycles there would be she wasn’t sure. It could be six or twelve but maybe the doctor can tell us on Monday.
Now we are promised icy weather and snow and travel may be impossible. So it is in the lap of the gods and I’ll take what comes.

Sounds like a good plan and I have confidence that all shall go well.
Granny Annie: I hope you are right. Any doubt at all and I'll cancel.
I like this: "I’ll take what comes." I'm slowly learning to do this. It's been a tough thing to learn though.
'Grrr arggh,' that's me.
I hope you have a lovely weekend whatever comes.
GG: in some ways it's a relief to have the decision made for me.
Well, if I get a vote, I'm hoping you get to go. Noting is better for the soul than some travel.
Thanks UB:)
Hope it all works out for you, Pat :)
Kim: have you got snow? It's starting to sleet here.
Sounds like a great plan but as you say it is in the hands of the weather gods...
I was able to visit the Salisbury Plain area many many years ago and I remember it as lovely... will have to go look it up, I lost all my photos in the fire.
Thank goodness for google !
Hoping for a break in the weather,
cheers, parsnip
Parsnip: there's many a slip...
I hope all went (or is going) well and that you got to see your family. Those of us with everyone close by forget that for many, contact is much less frequent, if more appreciated.
Cheers.
I hope it all works out weather-wise and itherwise, too, so that you can go---it sounds like something you would really love to do, all things being equal. AND, I hope the bad icy snowy weather doesn't happen! (I cannot believe we are almost at December...!)
Randall: it's next week honey and goodness knows if it will all work out but I'm quite relaxed about it - as long as MTL is fine.
Naomi: this bad weather is very early and I'm happy to let fate decide.
No, it seems to be missing us in the South West of Scotland. The East coast has got it quite bad though
Kim: your time will come!
My sister's chap, Bod, lives in Warminster.
As you say, lap of the gods. Better to cancel than feel you're fighting fate and if it doesn't work out, there will be other opportunities.
Z: Just my luck that by a misunderstanding I have tickets for two instead of one.
Lovely view into your yard. You will love the visit, and he will enjoy having his daughter with him.
Maggie: yes if all goes well it will do us both a power of good.
Well, as you say, it's in the lap of the (weather)gods but I hope they are kind enough to let you have a little break.
Sandy: merci bien:)
