Hi All
I confess; I'm an anniversary let down! I went to bed for a quick snooze at 5.oo pm last night and woke up 15 hours later at 8.00 am this morning. Sorry Florence! How much sleep do I need??? This has been the toughest chemo round so far; I've felt sick constantly since Wednesday and been really tired - they did warn me the effects would be cumulative. Having initially put weight on I've now lost 7lbs since Wednesday - the amazing mister yo-yo man! What I can't stand is the smell of chemo. I can smell it on my skin and in my pee and taste it in my mouth too - not nice. Platinum might be nice in rings and jewelery but is not too good rushing round your veins. Could you pray that the sickness will pass? Thanks.
Between snoozing and puking I have managed a bit of gentle gardening; nothing too strenuous. Some of the plants I bought on Friday have started to go in at a rate of one or two a day.
We had a great day today. Once a month at church we have all age worship where the kids stay in for the whole of the service. Our mates David & Suzy led this 'cafe' style. It was great. We all sat around tables with our donuts and drinks during the worship all very informal. Just about everyone got to join in, there was a great atmosphere and lively worship as always. For those into prayer think about Wootton New Life tomorrow night. We have a really important vision and strategy meeting to seek God for the way ahead. So much good stuff has happened already; from nearly closed 7 years ago to a thriving church community today. Sunday congregation 10 times what it was (on a good non-holiday Sunday!). God is good and we really believe that there is much more to come yet. If you can ask the Lord for some direction for us we'd be grateful, we want to press on and become fully the church God wants us to be.
We were invited round to friends at church for lunch today which was cooked totally by Scott (14) and Matthew (16) - great meal and they even cleaned up afterwards. Thanks guys and to Ken & Lisa Beamish (their mum & dad) for inviting us. Matt and Scott are available for weddings, barmitzvahs etc. for a small fee!
This coming week I've got the youth group (XLR8) to lead on Tuesday, we're looking at atheism this week. My auntie and uncle are coming for a visit on Wednesday and then I've got the scan and tattooing at Addenbrokes (Cambridge) on Thursday.
Thanks for reading the blog guys. It blesses me to know there is so many folk out there thinking of me.
Luv ya all!
Dave

Hi Dovid,
I must admit, am a bit envious of the 7lbs weight loss in less than a week,
but I don't do diets any more, so guess that is why I am the original "Cuddles".
I hope the sickness stops, have prayed already.
Yes, you do belong to a great church, with a very annointed bunch leading it , too.
Lidlington Methodist Church was "Ken and Mu'd" before Wootton, and look at us now, an LEP, full of all sorts!!!!!
God has great plans for you, and He already has done phenominal things .We , here in Lid have had the privelage of watching you all grow in His name.
I remember some of us coming to a "service on the green" some years ago, and Suzy was leading the open air worship. It was the first time we had seen her lead, and we were blown away by her enthusiasm and love. I remember her asking the congregation to "wiggle their bums" to one of the songs....I couldn't join in that one...far too refined!!!! But God has moved you all in an awesome way, and there is so much more to come. Hold onto your hats, guys!
Still got the sewing machine on wheels to drive...getting a bit fond of its rattleness now.It feels a bit better now I have got it covered in mud. Refined, Lidlington mud, of course.
I need to hire those young lads, urgently..to tutor my kids!Small fee no problem.
Dovid, the yearning continues, no trace. Will be praying even HARDER and LOUDER this week. Be healed.
Love to you and Florence, as always.
