24/06/20 (2)

Just one thing in the diary for today - a repair man from Zenith due to replace a perished seal on our back door, supposed to be coming between 12 and 4. So of course he arrived at about 08:30, bringing a sudden and unwelcome end to my plan to sleep a little longer as I no longer have to be up at 08:15 for the Bonefos pills.
20mg of dex after breakfast, and my first Lenalidomide / Revlimid later tonight as I'm starting Week 2 of Cycle 1 of the new regime. I shall treat the Len capsules with rather greater respect, as I now know they cost something over 200 GBP a time! However it looks as if Celgene's patent is in its last year, so there should be some reputable generics coming along after that, as well as the somewhat dubious Indian imports.

It's been a very hot day and we both felt the need of the sea - or at least the lower end of the Thames Estuary so we went down to Goldhanger with Victor the Unpunctured Veloped.

















That photo was taken from the sea wall at the opening of the narrow part of the Goldhanger Creek where there's a handy bench for a picnic lunch.

A few other people came by and a couple of them were very interested in the cross-country walker and made a note of the Trionic name.

We were parked close to The Chequers, a lovely classic 15th century pub with an interior even more attractive than the exterior (and a bar billiards room) and the idea of a pint of lemonade shandy seemed just the thing in this heat - it hit 31C today. But of course the place wasn't open. Damn the virus!!
