First, I've bought Claire Gilbert's book Miles To Go Before I Sleep: Letters on Hope, Death and Learning to Live (see a few posts ago) - not least because I can get it in Kindle form at a significantly lower price. No doubt I'll have things to say about it later.
On the advice of friends who live nearby, we went to Dunmow Recreation Ground for our daily exercise. It's much more than a football field with a path round the outside - opens out into grassland and a good walk along the Chelmer. Never a big river, but even less so this far upstream. It'll be a lot more attractive and tempting a bit later in the year, but a good addition to our list of walking territory. And I took the wrong walker, because Walter was already in the back of the car. There's a lot of rough grass and the three-wheeled off-road Victor would have been a better choice.

Sleepiness / tiredness / exhaustion / fatigue / whatever struck again after getting home and a light lunch of soda bread and garlic & herb Boursin - rather a good combination. You have to remember that paraproteins and free light chains are the best and simplest indicators of the progression of myeloma, but they are also far less than the ideal 100% comprehensive picture. It's entirely possible that the fatigue is a product of the disease and not a side-effect of the treatment....
