Lessons to live by:

• Do not allow your sister to cut your fringe (bangs).
• Do not allow your sister to encourage you to cut your own fringe.
• Do not allow your sister to encourage your husband to cut your fringe.
• Do not use kitchen scissor to cut your fringe.
• Regardless of how bad your hair looks or how badly your fringe is driving you crazy, do not cut it yourself.

Thank goodness I wear a helmet all day, and my hair grows quickly.

Joy came home from the hospital yesterday after her last session of chemotherapy.  The next plan is for her to build up her strength and they will operate mid-September.  Things are finally looking up for her.  We spent a couple of hours chatting to her last night. We decided to ask if we could spend another day here, so that I could spend some time with Joy today.

Joy is feeling good today after her chemo, but I asked her to go to bed for a mid-afternoon nap.  We had a good chat this morning and we will have a good chat tonight before we all have an early night.  It is good to see her looking well and she has even put on some weight, not a lot, but some.

Joy supervised Ralf and I making a paella today.  I assisted in the prep and Ralf did the cooking.  It tasted lovely and we had a lovely meal together.  Good times spent together.

We will set off early tomorrow morning.
