Four weeks ago today, my beautiful wife Heather died after a four year battle with breast cancer.

As a legacy to Heather - this is your monthly reminder to check your moobs and boobs

What am I going to do for the next 10 days when there’s no sport on TV?! Bring on the Olympics.

Took our puppy for her first General Election #dogsatpollingstations experience. She was happy to meet another dog that was also having its photo taken.

Ah, the joys of hospital food. After four weeks of swollen stomach I am finally having it drained. So far over 3 litres have come out! Hopefully I’ll start to feel better over the weekend. Sadly it means that I miss my eldest’s Y6 leavers’ party.

Polling card was delivered this morning. I wasn’t quick enough to pick up the post so the dog decided to help out. She then chewed it!! Not sure I’ll be taking it to the polling station with me.

@carolyngarritt I saw this and thought of you!

@CUHMacmillan @Estelley77 @secancerhelp @Integrativeonc @macmillancancer @croydonhealth @RMPartnersNHS And if you don’t live in Croydon…? Is this something that MacMillan offers at other London hospitals? Thanks.

@Philip_Lawrence One word for you - Finland!!! 🤣 Really hope they get through.

Need to work on our #dogsatpollingstations pose. But we have been out and voted.

I can’t remember the last time I was at home on marathon morning. I’m usually volunteering or occasionally running. TV is on, cuppa in hand, cheering on from the sofa.

Our thoughts today, as always, are with all those affected by the tragedy at Hillsborough and the 97 fans who will never be forgotten.

Amazing achievement. First woman to finish the five loops of the Barkley marathon.

[Keith @keithdunn]

Jasmin Paris @JasminKParis finished loop five of the #BM100 in 59:58:21.

[Heather @Heather_CP]

Just repeatedly refreshing my feed to see if @JasminKParis has finished the #barkleymarathon #bm100

Chemo day 7 - or not. My neutrophil levels were too low. A week off and try again next week. Good news is my haemaglobin and platelets were holding up. So, home already, enjoying a cuppa. Going to up my dark choc intake and see if it makes a difference (some studies say it can).

Yesterday was Gary Numan’s 66th birthday, and now we enter the Garyneum - the 13 day wait before the 66th birthday of Gary Oldman.

Watching Crufts. Loving the fly ball competition. But I don’t like how the owners of the show dogs hold the leads so high to keep their dogs’ heads up. Just looks wrong / uncomfortable.

[Heather @Heather_CP]

I hope this isn’t the peak of my day but I’ve just successfully removed a tick from the cat after two days of trying!

[Heather @Heather_CP]

Keeping my head covered - too chilly otherwise. I now have to draw my eyebrows each day. I forgot this morning!
Wearing my lovely scarf, bought from @ScampandDude. Buy a scarf and they donate one to a woman having chemo or a mother whose child is going through cancer treatment.

Chemo day 6 - Forgot to take an in hospital photo so you get one of me waiting for my ride home. Bloods were good enough today that I didn’t need a blood transfusion. This meant I was out of the hospital about 3 hours earlier than usual. So I’m now home enjoying a cup of tea.
