27/08/20 Papermill Lock

 Had a good long walk along the towpath at Papermill Lock this morning. The place seems to be under new management as there have been several changes including toilets now restricted to tearoom customers only, and a £5 charge for the car park that used to be free. Despite all that, the place was as busy as we've ever seen it - and with at least 150 cars in the car park by lunchtime, a healthy little extra income. We backed out of the car park entrance and parked on the road  using my Blue Badge for being slightly into a double yellow line area.

Finished changing the #2 water butt over to the new one, and there's been plenty of rain. Tomorrow morning will show whether all is OK with it or not.

I've been pleasingly un-snoozy today, probably the result of 10mg of dex this morning. Got a bit annoyed on the Facebook Myeloma UK Support group by a poster saying her consultant had argued that the immune "damage" caused by Lenalidomide was no different from that caused by stem cell transplant. Well, if that were true I'd have not much of an immune system at the moment. I allowed myself a slightly snappier response than usual...

Constipation - definitely my #1 side-effect - bad again today. So after building up to it for a couple of days, tonight I've taken the full cocktail of Senna, Fybogel, and Laxido. Hoping for some action in the morning.
