…what to expect when you open your eyes in the mornings. Today, ladies and gentlemen, has been no less surprising.
Today was supposed to be a quiet duvet day to counteract the excitement of the last few. Despite having a few restful nights, I still feel fairly fatigued and my swallowing has not really improved (soup and all things mashed are my friends at the moment). As such, I thought a few extra hours in bed would be appropriate.
However, not long after the palliative care team had left me tucked up as snug as the proverbial bug, I received a telephone call asking me if I could do an interview for our local radio station this afternoon. Never one to turn down an opportunity to further our cause, I agreed instantly. The interview is to provide background information to a feature publicising a local fundraising event organised by a friend of mine, Victoria Holdsworth. You may have seen her comments on the blog informing you of the battle of the bands competition she is hosting in support of MNDA. We hope that there will be a link to the piece on Radio Aire’s website, www.radioaire.co.uk, which is due to be broadcast sometime tomorrow morning on 96.3fm. I am sure Vicky will keep us up to date with the latest via the blog.
You will all know me well enough by now to realise that the chap who came to interview me left with his ears bleeding after listening to me rant on for three quarters of an hour; you will also know that the above, plus the regular hours of talking to my computer, has left me completely knackered.
As such, I will leave further ramblings until tomorrow, when I also hope to bring you the latest footage of our little bruiser (he actually was given a “timeout” at nursery school today!).
All my love,

Ah! Good to know John Gunn lives on, bruising about! That recessive Gunn gene will out eventually…
Can’t wait to see the video, in the meantime, rest up, Neil. The world is hanging on your next words!
cheers

Hi Neil, Louise and Oscar
Just thought I’d drop you a little msg all the way from Madagascar…
It is difficult to find Internet that works here so have not been able to keep up with your blog in the same way. I now find myself with the rare opprtunity to browse the web for more than 10mins, therefore the chance to check in and see how you’re all getting on. I send you all my love and best wishes, you are all ever in my thoughts…
Neil your freind is right your prose must be published!
All my love, Rachael
