All continues to be well here in Edinburgh medically, my hair has moved on from stubble to tennis ball, to nearly looking like a marine cut now, so my body continues to recover well. I do still get fatigue a bit but the times when I feel pretty normal are stretching out and the fatigue tends to follow a late night out or a long drive so is becoming more normal in its pattern.
The highlight of this week was a trip I made to a car show at Goodwood House just near London, I had promised myself this trip since I had been in hospital for my stem cell transplant, as this is the premier car event in the calender and I had never been. It was fantastic. Every car I have ever drooled over in magazines was there, being driven by the famous racing drivers of the era, and the public are allowed to talk to the drivers, walk round the paddock, peer in the cockpits etc. It was petrolhead heaven, only enhanced by the supermodel quota being off the scale. At one point I saw four world rally champions chatting to each other before runs in the actual cars they won the rallies in!. Sadly I could only stay for one day as Poppy had decided to have her birthday party on the Sunday, so I headed back up the road for that - but I will be back!
Poppys party went well I took her and some friends climbing and then they all took turns on an Ariel assault course 150 feet up which excited and scared them in equal proportions. Tonight was her end of term dance so dad was pressed into getting the Aston out of the garage to take them to the dance - they even have dance cards and much angst about who will get the last dance!
I see that the fishermen have returned from the ritual break in the wilderness of Walleye camp and Bill has kindly sent me some photographs of big fish I did not let go, I am sure the average has gone up a lot in fishing pounds caught without me there. Never the less its one of my targets to get to Walleye camp next year if the medics will let me that far away from civilisation by then.
Needless to say after the trip to Goodwood and Poppy's party my energy levels fell well off but only for the morning I seem to be feeling OK again tonight so my stamina is really beginning to improve a lot.
As before no news is good news at this stage, just keeping you posted !
Cheers

That's more like it. But where are the photos of the best cars and Billy Bob riding a gator? And what were the best cars? Come on Mullah, you need to provide more details to keep the car fans happy. Glad you enjoyed Goodwood. Hope the weather wasn't too bad. I'll get there some year.
I spent the weekend visiting a couple of old classics with deteriorating bodywork: my parents. Rather like your Bluesmobile was a while ago, unless repairs are made soon, bits are going to start dropping off.

Glad to see the recovery is going well, great news. We have been having our 4 days in Shenzhen, hot and humid. We look forward to your return and making a significant contribution to the enterprise, but we would just like to make sure when you head back you don't join MOH, we can't afford you anymore! You could pick up some commitments for us though, plenty to do as always!
