21/06/21 It might have been Freedom Day...

Nothing new about myeloma, except for some admin problems on the Facebook group because of somebody posting stuff against the group guidelines - although I rather think the truth may be that he's been hacked and there's a spambot somewhere posting the stuff in his name. Also, the tiredness/fatigue was bad this afternoon and evening (although, as usual, it vanished after my midnight shower.) 

Ankle oedema is still there, and it's not been practical to take a diuretic for the last couple of days. It won't be later this morning either, as we'll be going out for breakfast. Tuesday should be OK.

Yesterday morning at the boules I had a couple of good warm-up games before the doubles match with Brian against a very strong pair. We were always going to lose (surprise!) but set ourselves the target of beating our best score so far of 5. The first few ends were very very close, with the opposition winning one point by very small margins. I played some very good throws (along with the usual rubbish) and they could so easily have gone the other way... Three games ended up with one of their boules, one of mine, and the coche so tightly grouped that it was just a millimetre or two that made the difference. But in the second half of the match they pulled away and the final score was just 13-1. We were also the victims of a tactical ploy where the opposition took a one-point win to eliminate the good chance that we might have made five points... a tactical lesson learned there! Brian and I are defeated but not discouraged - back again next Sunday.
