Well, the weekends over and week 2 of the daily grind is back! 
I really don't know how you people that do the daily commute into Sheffield cope. Sitting in those long tailbacks to drive over roads crying out for a bit of tarmac (I can see why so many of you have 4 wheel drives - its like being in the Serengeti) - and whatever happened to courtesy? We entered the Sheffield Parkway eventually today after being blocked on the slip road by someone who really didn't want us to join the road. To gain what? He got closer and closer to the car in front and all he really achieved was that he looked like a twerp...
We arrived at Weston Park in plenty of time for my 8.40 appt this morning - and for once I was expecting to be in and out by 9am... 
I hadn't allowed for the fact that my chauffeur for the day was my Auntie Jean - who is afflicted by something my Uncle calls 'Vaughans Luck'... (I think its the same as 'Sods Law') 
... Anyway - there was a power cut this morning at Weston Park and all the Radiotherapy machines needed re-booting once power had been restored... This was done at 9ish - however my personal machine continued to act the goat (more evidence of Vaughans Luck) and I eventually was re-sited to a different machine at 10.10.. 
Still, its not like I had anything better to do. Auntie Jean is next lined up for the Easter Monday trip - any more Vaughans Luck and we will be re-ordering the rota...
The weekend passed pretty much without incident, I felt steadily better - and finally managed my first 'number 2' in 8 days during Saturday afternoon!! 
I'm sorry if thats a little too much information - but I bet I felt even more relieved than Brian Laws did after Sheffield Wednesday secured 3 points...
One thing about the radiotherapy - my mouth is drying up as a result of it killing my saliva glands - it makes eating very difficult.. I can also feel the soreness of gums beginning, I don't think it will be long before the PEG is in action...
Anyway - thats todays round-up - more later in the week.
All the best
Nigel xx
