Nearly half way through the radiation treatment now - I was thinking of asking them to stop half way through tomorrow's zapping so we could crack open a bottle of pop to celebrate ! but thought that this might not be too popular with my fellow patients waiting outside if they heard a party going on.
The faces in the waiting room are becoming familiar now and it is a bit like being in a dining room of a B&B lot of polite head nodding and good mornings - think we have all experienced that in our time? Next week I might get to learn their names, or what they are in for? or where they have been for their holidays?
It was Rosemary's birthday today. So I met her for a birthday breakfast at Cafe Fego. We had delicious poached eggs on toast and coffee - a nice way to start the day! Rosemary was hoping for a picnic with her two children - but as it has rained most of the day I expect that rained stopped play and an alternative was sought.
Learning about these antioxidants is proving interesting. Did you know that a square of dark chocolate (more than 70% cocoa) contains twice as many antioxidants and polyphenols as a glass of red wine or almost as many as a cup of green tea? I sort of knew they were better for you - but now I know that it is helping with things I will be settling down this evening with a glass of red wine and some dark chocolate :-) Just the ticket for a rainy grey evening - is it really August? Maybe I'll change the Blog name to Addicted to Chocolate..or do you think that title might already be in use?
You should consider barley grass powder, it has loads of anti-oxidants in and other stuff! Will tell you all about it on Sunday. Sarahxxx
