To borrow a phrase from Garrison Keillor, "it has been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon". Hence no posting of blog until today. Jane has been doing pretty well including another night away from home with John and Shirley Clark last Wednesday whilst I went to London for a "round table" on Darfur led by Crisis Action (pretty depressing). On Saturday we walked in the park on a beautiful sunny morning for what must have been almost three quarters of a mile. And on Sunday we attended church at St Paul's followed by lunch in a local pub with Sally and Andrew Gregory - Jane even wolfed down some dessert!! So, there has been some really positive stuff. Today we were up at the hospital for Jane's monthly intravenous dose of Pimudranate (spelling?) which is supposed to strengthen her bones. Sister Claire found a vein first time (second only to Roy with a needle) so it all went pretty smoothly. Less welcome news during the visit was that the tumour marker count in Jane's blood went up again between mid January and early February. There's something to pray about.
Looking forward to more positive events, Lydia returns from New York in 8 days' time and Leo is home three days later.
Well, I think that is about all for now except to thank you all for the continuing prayers, kind words, flowers and letters that we continue to receive almost daily.

Hi Jane, Peter,
Love checking in on you...always lovely to see your pictures! Will always hold you both in my prayers. XO Dave is presently upstairs finishing off a new hardwood floor in Rachel's old room, he's done a marvelous job levelling it(it used to go downhill by 3 inches as you walked along it!)and re-using all maple wood cast off from Normandy Hall's reno job a few years previous...basically,free! Rachel is coming home for a visit next weekend, yay! She'll be done her college courses in April, then is taking herself on a trip to Calgary afterwards to celebrate. She's planning to go to the Stampede with good friends. Still very cold here in Kingston, brrr. I'm sure Lyds will be glad to arrive in England home from the freezing North American continent!
Love to you Both XOXO Sally
Hi, Jane and Peter
We've been keeping in touch with the latest via Elly and, of course, your blog - well done, Peter, for the excellent updates. Great to hear that you've been feeling up to using your culinery skills again, Jane. We're in some turmoil here with 15 workmen with hammers etc knocking down walls, stripping out the old kitchen units, inserting new steel beams to widen the kitchen, prior to having a new one fitted. Ready in 5 weeks time! Hope you are feeling OK. Love to you both, Mike and Sue
