Well, I'm already approaching my third week of radiotherapy and so far so good. I've not been burnt to a crisp yet but it may be worthwhile buying shares in the Sorbolene company I'm using because I am now buying it by the litre - there is no need to muck around with those 250ml tubes.
The 'gunnado' list hasn't got too many ticks against it yet but, surprisingly, I've not been bored as I've had people with me most of the time playing tourist here in Brisbane. I watched the AFL Grand Final at the Gold Coast casino with a Collingwood supporter so that worked out well, unless of course you are a 'Pies' fan. I must say, as the match progressed there were more and more Geelong supporters coming out of the wood work, unless of course they were Collingwood supporters jumping ship.
We went on the giant Brisbane Wheel at Southbank which was quite good, admittedly it's not the London Eye but at least they have one that is still standing, unlike Melbourne! As far as my Thai cooking class goes, I have gone and eaten at the restaurant to ensure that the food is good - I don't want to learn to cook 'dodgy' Thai food. On the other hand, if it turns out I'm not that good at it I could always blame the cooking school ... good chance I will do that anyway.
Why do we use ... (dot dot dot) when we write I wonder? It really does leave things up to the reader to interpret but I like it because it can say everything or it can say nothing at all. Maybe it's a cop out but as the song goes, "You say it best when you say nothing at all".
I'm still knitting and am actually considering something a little more challenging having found a few videos online to show me how to increase and decrease stitches. I think it's time I moved on from the basic square because life is too short for just squares - you need a few bends and twists along the way so you don't become too staid. It's time I started challenging myself again - even if it is in the knitting arena. Unlike other people who are diagnosed with cancer and go on to achieve amazing feats like conquering Mount Everest, starting their own Foundation etc etc. It does make me sound a bit slack really but a very good friend of mine said that not everybody has to do something amazing, that the World needs cogs in the wheel as well.
That sounds a bit like a cop out though, maybe we are all meant to achieve something amazing in our life. If nothing else, getting diagnosed with cancer does make you question life a lot more. At this stage though I've not got any answers - just questions.
