What to do in the New Year......was Quality of Life Questionnaires

[Guest guest]

My plan for the New Year, instead of

seeing a medical oncologist, which I should really do, was formulated in the

heat of the pre-Christmas week when it was 38C (about 100F) and the smoke from

the fires burning about 200 km away had reduced visibility to about 800 meters.

Our plan was to see some snow and old friends at the same time, so we booked

for a cheap flight to Sweden,

expecting several feet of the white stuff. As things turned out, WE got the

snow here in Australia (not

a lot, but enough to put out the fires) and there’s no snow in Sweden yet. Hope

there’s some by the time we get there at the end of next month.

Good luck to you all for the New Year –

may all your PSAs be low!!

All the best
