Now that I am committed to radiotherapy, I feel an increased
imperative to stay at home, self-isolated & away from any coronavirus. I
expect to be called in some time in the next fortnight for a scan, possible
further tattooing & careful measurement as to exactly where they want to
aim the beam. The following week will be the start of the three week daily
trips to Preston for the actual treatment. So it is all important that I stay
healthy to have the treatment which will be more effective if I can manage the
three weeks without interruption due to my ill-health. With this is mind the
Fox went once more to the shops on his own yesterday.
I am so grateful for having a garden & such a large &
accessible one. My latest thrill is the opening up of a large pink clematis.
There seems to be loads of buds so it should be quite a sight when they all
open up.

Meanwhile later this morning I shall have a rummage in the
freezer for the next month’s supply of items to use up. My list says pancetta
& cooked chicken. I’ve not seen pancetta during the course of my various
rummages. I usually just use bacon instead. I suspect it is in fact the prosciutto
which I have seen from around the right date. The chicken I need to locate for
tomorrow’s Chicken & Mushroom Pie.
Life goes on in very small circles. I am so looking forward to
being free to go out, see friends & different sights. It is difficult to
keep stimulated. Even the TV & radio seems to be full of virus related
programmes. I long for something fresh to think about. I’m very grateful for the
fact the Fox managed to get a pile of books from the library the day before
shut down. At present I’m in 18th century England with some French
emigrés who early in the novel had escaped Paris in the French Revolution. At
least I can travel through time & space, away from coronavirus, in this way
