yes to life

in spite of everything. That's the title of the book I received through the post today.

And thank goodness, I feel as though I've been "recalled to life". My energy is back and most of my appetite (still a strange craving for mango). 

I only meant to go for a sauna, but my pool buddy Gillian was there so I said I'd get in the water with her and swim a couple of lengths..which turned into 30. I do love a swim in a near-empty pool - too good an opportunity to miss. Also I had to test out my new goggles.

Time for tea now - Dahl and Meera Sodha's Banana Bread which I made this morning.
