There were other displays that made me green with jealousy

My jealousy of all things floral continued with a visit to some friends in nearby Staffordshire who live in a lovely old cottage. To make matters worse they have the most gorgeous garden (these photos really don't do it justice) I was positively emerald with envy.
And now on to green eyed monsters of a different sort. The other-half has been decorating (yes again) this time the bathroom and bedroom. Cyril, the three legged monster cat, decided to help. Here's some of his handiwork.
Freshly painted window sills, wooden floors and a delinquent cat definitely do not mix.
OK, on to the tedious medical update. I had the first dose of my new chemo on Wednesday. The following day I was back at hospital as my temperature went haywire. It was much like the time a similar thing happened in Cornwall a few months ago. Once again, thankfully, my white blood cell count was ok, so the temperature wasn't indicative of a rampant infection. I had some IV antibiotics and some oral ones to take home just to be on the safe side but the doctors seemed to think it was the result of new chemo on top of old chemo and my body deciding it was all a bit too much to handle. Anyway, I'm OK now. We shall see what happens next week when I go back for a swamp juice top up. Let's hope it doesn't result in this:
Although frankly that would be an improvement on this, a picture of me looking truly dreadful while recuperating, truly I have no pride when it comes to seeking sympathy.
