Day out

Friday was such a nice day we went into Ararat for the crazy day side walk sale and the out to Halls Gap in the Grampians for a BBQ and what a pleasant day it was there after leaving the Grampians we went to Stawell for afternoon tea and then home

Another day in Melbourne

We went down to Melbourne Friday on the fast train it travels at 160 kilometres an hour and boy that is fast then did a lot of walking for a while before catching the bumble bee tram,this is also a part of the light rail system and this also travels very fast once it gets onto the old St Kilda rail line I cant be sure of the speed but it seemed around 100 km per hr.We went out to Akland St were all the cake shops are but we were very good and had none as they all seemed so rich it was a big day the train left Ararat at 7.30am and we got home at 8.45 into Ararat.

Austalias Got Talent

We went down to Melbourne to see Australia's Got Talent it was a full on day,we were told to be lined up by 11.45 am but they made us stand out in the sun until 1.45 until they opened the doors but it was worth the wait as most of the talent was great only a few duds this finished at 5.30pm and then it was of to Totos this was the first Pizza place in Australia its been going for well over 40 years and it is in Lygon St Carlton. I remember going there just after it was opened Glenda and I had Pasta and Amanda had a pizza with Mat also having a pizza then it was onto the highway and home.

Been passed fit enough to go back and find a job so I applied for a few and one of them is driving the V-Line service from Ballarat I had a phone call from the owner who said that he is interested in me and as soon as a position comes up he will phone me I originally applied to do one of his school runs but he said it was not worth coming down for 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours at night so I will just have to wait unless something else turns up.

Doctors Responce

The results for the colonoscopy are back and they said that I was all clear I am so happy,I still have to do a colonoscopy every 2 years and keep up with the blood tests but that's OK its exactly 12 months to the day I was operated on so its been a hard journey but well worth it.

Still more to do

Of to Ballarat tomorrow (Wednesday) for a CT scan and Thursday I get the results of my colonoscopy then next Wednesday have to see the Professor at Stawell and do a blood test before seeing him so its still all go and have applied for a couple of jobs.

Last Chemo

Tuesday I did my last chemo its been a long haul and on the 3rd of February I get the results of my Colanoscopy but with no job to go to I will have to start looking for work.Had the grandchildren up at the weekend it was great as we did not get much time with them over the years because of work.
