Night wandering

A perfect morning for a swim, first of the season as I finally feel I’ve shaken the cough. It felt good.

Sadly I received the news that mum’s breast cancer has returned for the third time. She’s going to have a mastectomy on Monday. Do I stay here or do I go. A thought which preoccupied me all day and into the night. There’s no clear answer.

The day ended with catching up with a former student from Cairo who’s now here in Q8. Our first proper meet up. When I told him about mum, he said let’s meet. A good evening at Marina Mall, a good distraction. Nice guy. And interesting to see what students remember.  He likes walking too so we walked me home enjoying walking weather while we can.
