18/09/20 Shoeburyness

A better night last night - slept a straight five hours after the second dex morning. We had planned to go to Wivenhoe (just south of Colchester) and maybe have a pub lunch, but reports of two separate delays on the A12 forced a change of plan and we ended up at Shoeburyness, on the far side of Southend. A little bit run-down, not very interesting, but the great advantage of being very quiet. Maybe everybody else was kept away by the wind. Had a decent walk along what passes for the front and enjoyed watching the kitesurfers and a windsurfer.










Drove into town to find a chippy and brought the food back to the car park to eat sitting on the grass - I had my walker in its seat mode, and Sue had brought a collapsible garden chair.  Never eaten fish & chips outside in such a wind before - not very easy!

Results of last week's blood tests have come through - paraproteins still undetectable, lambda light chains a trifle below normal range. But all the haemoglobin and red and white cell results are missing - I've emailed a query to the chemo people at Springfield but don't expect a reply before Monday.

One pleasant surprise - the new pack of AdCal tablets (chew two a day) are lemon-flavoured. Rather nicer than the pseudo-orange flavour I've had so far.
