GAME OF THRONES AND YES, I AM STILL ALIVE!!

Not having a fantastic time at the moment with my wretched health, but we all know that my health is a drama queen in its own right!!

 

My surgeon has decided not to go the full invasive route and take out part of my colon, instead I am going to have fairly non invasive exploratory surgery so that they can take biopsies.

 

Bowel/breast/thyroid cancer run in our family and since the wedding, according to Shane, I have lost a dramatic amount of weight and I am struggling with the pain.

 

So I have almost ground to a halt, but I still take photos when I can.

 

We've been having a run of GLORIOUS weather and the advantage of living where we do, is that it only takes me a couple of minutes to get onto the beach.

 

So, that is what I did today. Headed down to Downhill beach to have a slow wade in the sea.

 

Bit of excitement going on though as the beach was a hive of activity with these huge statues being dragged into place and gas pipes being laid up to the statues.

 

Turns out that they are filming episodes of Series 2, GAME OF THRONES www.hbo.com/game-of-thrones/index.html so later on in the week Shane and I will head back to the beach to watch the night filming.

 

And it could only happen to me. Always drive onto the beach to park but didn't realise that all the heavy equipment had churned the beach up.

 

Poor mini got bogged down in the sand so I had to be rescued by the lovely film crew. I keep forgetting that a mini is NOT a 4WD!!
