National Day and Liberation Day
It has been a while since I wrote anything. Basically, life is much the same these days. However, this week we have a five day holiday. Yes, thats right five days!! The Kuwait Government know how to do days off. It is National Day and Liberation Day. You may remember the Gulf War 1990, the first edition.
Well to celebrate Entertainment City announced it was giving free entrance during the celebrations, great like going to Alton Towers for free, so we thought. Well entrance was free, but the catch you had to pay for every ride, many of them £2.00 a go, needless to say we didn't stay every long and didn't go on many rides.
Adam and his two classmates enjoyed themselves, Today I am a little tired, probably over did it. This week I have more tests, and then again next week. CT Scan, heart test, Thank God we are getting to the end of the treatment.
Progress on the house we are having built in Cebu is painfully slow, we are waiting for the developer to pay the contractor so he can complete the build. Today is a public holiday in the Philippines, so we cannot do anything today. They know how to Holiday too. 18 public holidays a year.
well, we are fast coming to a time when we have to make some decisions about travelling. At present looks like mid April we will go to UK, Then early May back to Kuwait and early June to the Philippines, that is assuming I get the all clear, 'thumbs-up', 'all systems go' etc.
I am very optimistic at present and do feel alot better, most days that is, today not so. But then it is only one week ago that I had Chemo. Sometimes I forget the magnitude of the illness I have. The only thing I know is that I will beat it. Keep praying for us, Ruth and Adam are doing very well with all the uncertainity, schooling for next year (school year in the Philippines) is still up in the air.
We have just ordered from the China Queen restaurant, and it should arrive shortly, so bye for now, I promise to keep you up to date more often.

Very late
No excuses, I just have not had anything to write.
This week Adam's school had a 'sports fest' The Green Team won the over all team events that was Adams House. So when he came home with his hair sprayed Green we were not surprised.
I have not been doing very well this week. The Chemo has destroyed my White Blood count, well it is very low (2.1) so I have to go for injection each day to boost it. I also have a Chest infection and hacking cough, Sorry to be so down but I sam sure I will be Ok again, The main thing is I am making progress,
Keep up the good work all of you, I am off to the hospital, Then get some Kebabs that Sarah likes.

Weekend again!
Here in Kuwait weekend begins on Thursday, well now it does it used to begin on Wednesday and then we would go back to work on Saturday, now we go back to work Sunday. Today I was not able to go to work, I was all ready and then a sudden attack, stomach and vomiting, so I had to take a sicky, the first time I have not been able to go to work since I was sick.
But we are so thankful, that things are improving health wise and the lymph nodes are diminishing. in one more week I have somemore tests.
Well tonight Ruth and I will go to a Darts Match. we have not played Darts for the last couple of years.
The big news of the week is Charlotte Maria Heath Congrats, Anna & Steve.
One of our ancestors was also a Charlotte, I think it was Great Grand dad Heaths sister,
Well Grandchild no ten.
A large family,

Another day at the hospital
Sunday i went for my 3 weekly session, Mabthera + CHOP, well the Doctor said that the lymph nodes continue to deminish which is good news. They will do anothe review in 10days.
I am very encouraged things seem to get easier, and I am on the mend.
Well, We still cannot plan but little by little things are getting clearer.
Now we need to get our things shipped from here to the PI, our first shipment of things arrived safe and sound. next we will ship some bigger items deep freeze TV etc.
Well that all for now. I still can't view Wesleyexperience blog it comes up in Arabic. Something to do with the settings I will try to override google settings and get me out of the mideast.
until later

Weekend again.
Well, here we are again it is weekend, so what are we going top do. The first Idea was to go and watch our old darts team play, When it came time to get ready we decided it was just too much bother. Also darts is the kind of game you play not watch. Especially for me. On friday we did the usually supermarket shop at the new French Chain Carrefour, then off to up grade Adam's PSP so that he can download games at Kd 1. each a lot better than Kd 15-25. Well, we were hungry again so we dropped into the Crown Plaza for a smackeral, very nice too and with the privilege card not hard on the pocket.
Tomorrow I have to go for Chemo again, I really want to find out how much longer this is going to take. I suppose it takes as long as it takes, that seems to be the standard reply. I guess in plain english it means I don't know. The doctors here would never say that. Anyway keep up th good work. We will see you all sooner or later!!!!!
here is a picture of our house 2 months ago, it now is a lot further forward, but still not finished, I will try and post a photo of what it should look like when it is finished.
