Hard to believe it\u2019s been over a month since I was last with you at the Q, but I\u2019m happy to say that I\u2019m feeling far better and much less sore, as well as looking forward very much to seeing you on Thursday night at 9pm. That\u2019s the great thing about this kind of surgery, there\u2019s no visible evidence and as long as I don\u2019t have to lift anything heavy, I\u2019ll be fine! Mind you, I won\u2019t be alone as Charlie Brook will be with me for the three-hour finale of Diamonique Day! It\u2019s funny, as Charlie was with me when I came back to work after my initial diagnosis when I had my first show. I know I\u2019ll be in safe hands as he\u2019s always so supportive, and I may have a few surprises for him too – of a nutritional nature! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve been really supportive too with your lovely messages and comments here on the blog and social media, and I\u2019ve had plenty of spare time to appreciate them and respond, which is nice. It feels as though I\u2019ve been off for ages, but when I look back and think of the number of people who\u2019ve popped in, or who\u2019ve stayed for a few days to help out, that time shortens. Roz – my lovely friend who lives in Dorset – drove all the way over to pick me up and take me back to her home just outside of Shaftesbury. We enjoyed two days together, just pottering about in her garden or sitting nattering! This was the only traffic jam we experienced, and the peace and quiet that is indicative of her part of the world was very therapeutic, as was her company.
