An update

Several things have been happening the past 10 days or so. First of all, Chris and I made a trip to Bratislava (the capital city of Slovakia). It was a nice trip, interesting places to see, things to do. We had a great stay there. We returned on Wednesday evening, and the day after we took the Eurostar to London and then on to Newbury, in West Berkshire. Our main aim of going there was that the musical Whistle Down the Wind (Andrew LLoyd Webber and Jim Steinman) was being performed there - more than 20 years after the original run in the Westend. We both loved this musical and this was a great chance to see it once more - and at a very low price in a small theatre.

The only minus is that I returned with a medical problem. I went to see my general practitioner yesterday and this morning had to consult a specialist at the hospital. Most likely I'll have to undergo an operation tomorrow. When I get the operation, I'll need a while of aftercare in the coming weeks.

This disturbs our plans of spending the rest of August at the coast. It's especially a problem for Christine, as we had thought to return there, and her work computer and files are at the flat. Also our fridge is full of stuff. Don't know how we are going to solve this. The best way would be to go by car in the evening (there is a heatwave going on) and load everything in it.... but we don't have a car anymore. When there are two of us, it's no problem to bring all the stuff home, but I won't be able to leave the house for some time.

Worries, worries! At least, my problem has nothing to do with my cancer. That's something positive.
