D Day + 65: Saturday 16 October - Taking it Slowly (a.m.)

Good news!! C's blood pressure is down - still above what it should be, but much lower than yesterday.  Huge relief for both of us.  And this morning he took the first blood pressure tablet, along with the co-codamol - his cough seems to be less aggressive too, which helps him relax more.  No cancer drug though, so no anti-sickness tablet - it's a whole new diet of medication at the moment.
Feeling a bit brighter we decided to go out after breakfast for a drive round.  Went into Ryde to pay in some money for Rom from last night's party orders, and then over to Cowes for a coffee.  We popped in to see Rom at work then over to Tiffins - highly recommended for their delicious yoghurt shakes, coffee and chocolate flavour this morning, but sadly as I am not a lover of ice cream the cold does tend to give me brain freeze...highly amusing to watch and nice for C to gloat as I always used to take the mickey out of him when he got 'ice cream eye'....aaaaarghhh!!! 

The weather has been so amazing and autumnal this October it's actually a real pleasure to be out in it - the sun is still fairly warm, even though the breeze is chillier.  Just lovely, and nice to think about having a log fire tonight and a glass of wine....
