Hi - another week and we are well into March already but the treat of moving out of the winter months is that it is actually light when I leave work in an evening - which makes me feel much more alive!

Robert is doing well this week again which is great considering he is half way through his 3rd cycle of Chemo. I love getting time in the evenings to get into visit him and spend some valuable time together.

Alex is doing well with her studies at college although the pressure is mounting now as she has had to select two out of her 4 choices of University. More pressure ahead though as the exams get closer and you get one go at A Levels - as long as she does her best that's all she can do - and of course I want Alex to be happy in her life whatever way it goes.

So how is my re-shape doing? Well today I had the most expensive swim ever at the Crown Plaza Hotel - last time I went was 1st October.....now that is bad but we were on holiday in Spain in October (and I swam and walked a bit!!) and then Robert got ill so that's my excuse. I cancelled Robert's membership and kept mine so I have now made my way back and did 30 lengths as well as relaxing in the sauna, steamroom and jacuzzi - now that was good and I felt good afterwards.

Alex and I are coming off milk chocolate - cutting down fatty dairy stuff - so I have had dark chocolate and that is surely better eh? All being well Rob will get home this Thursday and I will get more time when I can get stepping again and swimming....watch this space!
