All quiet on the eastern front

This is a post from Lee, prior to going "over the top" tommorrow. The children are now in bed listening to Harry Potter and the half blood Prince and Gerry is engrossed in Lance Armstrong book getting himself into the zone for tommorrow. We got some really lovely letters today from the mothers which has cheered G a lot. I am waiting for a phone call from Jim and Sarah to tell me that my potion is ready. I borrowed their kitchen this evening (as we are still kitchenless) to concoct a potion known as eissac tea. This is a native American Indian derived formulation (used a lot in Canada) to help reduce the side-effects of chemotherapy. You can buy it here as Sheep's sorrel herbal complex with Indian Rhubarb, Burdock and Slippery Elm. It has been simmering on Jim and Sarah's cooker for the prescribed 4 hours and I will go and collect it shortly to decant into bottles for Gerry to enjoy!! tommorrow. When I left I have to admit it did look rather like the "poison" we used to make as kids using muddy water, nettles and old rose petals, I maybe have to work a little bit on the packaging and presentation.
