summer?

*peers out of window at damp and gloom*

We're meant to be taking our Sunday School to the seaside tomorrow. We go every year at about this time, and have never been rained off yet.

There's a first time for everything, I suppose. But the forecast for tomorrow is drier than today, so fingers crossed!

In other news, Brother Mine has developed a nasty abcess on his lower back that might need surgery if it doesn't respond to antibiotic. Nice. Apparently they are relatively common in men under 30 who work sedentary jobs. A friend of the family had the same thing a couple of years ago - he ended up with a two inch hole in his back and was off work for months! Hopefully Simon's won't be as bad.

Also, Sister Mine has finally had a diagnosis of PCOS (polycystic ovaries syndrome) slapped on her ongoing gynaecological troubles. It's genetic, so there are implications for me, too. Such as predisposition toward ovarian cancer later in life. Something to look forward to.

All in all, just another week in the life, really.

At least you are aware and can keep a close check on your health. Better to know, than not to know.

Are you going to Tenby? Because it seems to have its own weather system - it can be sunny there while it's raining everywhere else!

Hope the Sunday School trip tomorrow is a good one and the weather holds out. Young children often don't mind a bit of damp weather anyway - they're too excited at the prospect of doing something different to usual.

Re the PCOS, I'll have a look on a couple of 'alternative medicine' sites I use for reference and will send you a PM via nf.com if anything comes up that might be worth looking at.

Kinda crap when those things are in the family huh :s
There's a lot of cancer in my family too. Guess we just have to keep a close watch, and not worry about it too much.
