Have decided to have a day off from cake decorating today!
I think I'm feeling tired because I sat up until 1 o'clock watching an incredibly moving programme about 'Alex' a 21 year-old with terminal cancer. The boy was an absolute inspiration. Knowing he was going to die, he was determined to live life to the full and to make it as 'normal' as possible for his family and friends. He had such a wonderfully crazy personality, always on the go, making everyone laugh with his antics, never slowing down, until the week of his death, which occurred five days after he got married.
It's never easy to watch a documentary like this, but, although the outcome was never in doubt, the programme was filled with so much joy and love, that it was impossible not to take something really positive from it.
Of course, then I couldn't sleep because it was going round in my head, so I read until about 3,00 - consequently I'm feeling a bit heavy-lidded this morning and have decided on an easy day.
I've got to go food shopping (James is coming this evening, so I need to get the makings of a meal) but other than that I'm not planning anything really.
