Holly had spent Friday night at dad and Kirstys. She popped home for her GCSF injection on Saturday evening but then decided to spend Saturday night away too. Although I miss her I am really glad she is so well that she can do all these things.
As the weather has been so nice, Holly, dad and Kirsty went to Southend for the day. I am sitting here with Holly now so I can get all the info for this blog.
They started with lunch, fish and chips (what better choice for the seaside!). Next stop was the arcades where Holly has a dubious way of getting the machines to pay out. Apparently a sneaky shove with her arm results in the coins falling out! Nice to see she is learning useful new skills!
Golf was next on her list. She even managed a hole-in-one. She used to be terrible at mini-golf. Shame there wasn't a prize.
Talking of prizes, Holly loves all the fairground type prizes you can win. She decided that dad could play basketball for her as she had spotted a huge pink sparkly dolphin (very tasteful!). It is almost as big as Holly. Dad (after spending more than £10) had no luck so Kirsty had a go and managed to net the prize. She then had the honour of carrying said dolphin through Southend for the rest of the day.
Haunted House ride was next. Holly had been on before but it had been upgraded. Therefore it was a lot more scary than she had imagined and (for someone who wants to be a ghost hunter!!!!) she had a little scream. The last ride she fancied was a big skateboard that went from side to side and then got faster and faster. Then it was back to the arcade (for some more shoving) before coming home.
Izzy was most impressed with the dolphin and together with Millie (cousin) they decided that the dining room floor was the sea and they had loads of fun riding it! It is now in Hollys room resting, awaiting a fresh onslaught tomorrow.
Holly is now on Msn, and we are relaxing in her room. She is not tired (think that is due to bed time approaching) after all the fresh air. I feel tired just thinking about it!
She has had a lovely day and I am so pleased she is able to carry on with a normal life, you wouldn't think she was having intensive chemo every 10days and that makes me very proud.

I am so pleased to hear that Holly had such a lovely time with Dad and Kirsty. She is clearly so loved!
ReplyDeleteHolly, I was very moved by the 'youtube' that you prepared yourself - I would not know where to start but am inspired by you to have a go and prepare one for Gabe (may need to ask you for tips xx).
