It’s been a long time. Five months since my last post and only three since July last year…. A lot better than the three every day I was doing three years ago before and during treatment. :).

So anyway, aside from my neglect of my blog I’ve been pretty well. I’ve had a cold cough thing for nearly eight months and the antibiotics haven’t really shifted it, but it’s very liveable with. Just some coughing at night and running nose etc.

I’ve seen the doctor a few times and we’ve tried five different strains of antibiotics but no dice. I’ll push the issue next time I see them, but seems it doesn’t really stop me doing anything day to day I can’t grumble too much. Only other thing to note was pain in the hand after I played squash. It lasted a few days each time. I’ve had a break and it’s gone away, so maybe I’ll just have to avoid it. A couple of times it had a lump, but I went to a friendly physio (Alex) and he said it wasn’t anything to worry about but was just a weak joint. After stopping it’s not recurred again.

Other than that business is going well (really well, which is nice). My kids are growing fast. Grace is into year four after the summer and Avery year two. They are both doing really well and learning like sponges.

Jo is well and keeping on trucking. We get more time to sleep and be ourselves since the kids got to six and eight, so that’s been good for both of us. She’s still in the same job after 17 years but off to Oslo with it soon, so no complaints.

All in all pretty good. Oh and I’m in South Africa at the moment, just waiting for my flight home after a work trip. It was great fun and I really enjoyed catching up with the folks in Cape Town.

So I am not grumbling at all, but will make sure I get some blood tests done, as it’s been a while on watch and wait, and try and get more focus on this cold thingy.

Anyway hope you are all well. Have a good month or two. :).
