All Change!

Hello Dear Readers,

Well I made it through my Radioactive Iodine treatment with flying colors, and it looks like I will not need another treatment, hooray!  The adult ward was being renovated so I stayed in the teenage ward.  The means an Xbox in the room as well as an amazing wallpaper in the shower (the size of a small room) that had a palm tree and beach scene.  I took the radioactive pill on Friday and was released on Monday. See photo left for my "medicine bottle" with the giant radioactive symbol on it.  It puts Mr. Yuck to shame, remember the Mr. Yuck stickers for poison?

Anyway, it was the longest weekend ever, with nothing but an ipad and some books to keep; me company. Chris, Pat and Sarah came to visit me, and Chris snapped this photo of me from behind the safety of the lead door.

I'm knitting on a pretty hot cardigan.  Hot in the sense that it set off the geiger counter when I left, but it was ok for me to take home. 

Right now we have some big changes in the flat, Patrick has moved out and my friend Lucy is staying with us (along with her two cats) until the sale on her flat goes through.  The English house buying process is unbelievalbly complicated, so you have to track down about 20 different people, possibly including the Queen, in order to get it done.

Here is Patrick's room minus all his stuff, it's a little sparse at the moment:

And of course it should leave plenty of room for our new housemate who is coming on Wednesday. We have an Italian student staying with us for 6 months. Hey ho, the more the merrier.  Her name is Letizia and perhaps she will feature on the blog next weekend.

Neck still continues to heal, but still an ugly red line on it.  I will keep you updated with photos.

Cheerio!
