I can surely now understand why you cherish the little things, and why you savour the sensory experience of just being alive.Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04014351759393921274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296282.post-77830171748305402282007-09-21T07:25:00.000+01:002007-09-21T07:25:00.000+01:00You're right of course, BB.

I was writing in the warm Oxford afterglow and it melted away my objectivity ;-) Of course it depends on what you want to study...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296282.post-714460762237575812007-09-20T10:09:00.000+01:002007-09-20T10:09:00.000+01:00Glad to hear you are all clear, but indeed it is d...Glad to hear you are all clear, but indeed it is difficult to imagine the continual anxiety...<BR/><BR/>Found very interesting your post on Taryn Simon. Will try to visit it. From my blog, you would see that I would not recommend to Lomography wall in Trafalgar Square.<BR/><BR/>I've been eating leftover paella. I made it again to be sure I got the recipe just right. I've invested in a ginormous (don't really like this "new" word, but wanted to try it out) paella pan. Could cook for 10 people now with ease. My next goal is to to Indianize paella, which as someone pointed out would be reinventing biryani through the back door.<BR/><BR/>Nor sure about Oxford my dear. I know it's got great atmosphere, but I think it's too far from the frontier of knowledge. I suppose it depends what your kids will study! If they decide to study classics then I guess Oxford is still the place... If they decide to become engineers, I would suggest MIT. If they decide to get MBAs and become rich I would suggest Harvard...<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>BBRDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15099380127448254603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296282.post-51412512933731170802007-09-19T22:39:00.000+01:002007-09-19T22:39:00.000+01:00Thanks Tommy.

As you can see from this post, it's still difficult sometimes, particularly around the time of my checkups, but now that I'm cured, I've never felt better physically to be honest. And my experiences have given me such a joie de vivre. Life can be very tough and can be very short so you may as well enjoy it! This can sound trite, but it's true for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296282.post-14473495095629155342007-09-19T22:15:00.000+01:002007-09-19T22:15:00.000+01:00Mmmm I have never been in your position, so it wil...Mmmm I have never been in your position, so it will be superficial if I said I understood how you feel.
