11-20: Life has gone on here with the usual domestic round, combined with watching rather too much election stuff on the tele.
I have been to the gym and am now doing more work with dumbells - which is improving muscles and breathing. I have done a few minor things on the Jaguar and am now waiting for some work to be done on the rubbing strakes before it will be launched. The Southerly is awaiting a survey, so no activity there. And lunch with my children in London on Tuesday. All strangely tiring.
About Me
- Lorna Scammell
- Woodbridge, East Anglia - formerly North East England, United Kingdom
- My web log has four strands. It started as a simple sailing log of my voyage from the North east of England in my Southerly 95, LA Girl. As I came further south, the weather and my health deteriorated, so the second strand started, which is a commentary on various beaches and places that I visited. The third strand is about lung cancer. I was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer in August 2009, having been taken to hospital in Ipswich by ambulance - unable to breath. I eventually returned to my boat in Woodbridge and then came ashore to a nice flat by the station. The fourth strand is about life in Woodbridge. I am now sailing a Jaguar 21 called lookfar. I am also sailing dinghies again and now have a Streaker. Note that sailing in the river is harder than sailing at sea. Lorna died in 2013. This blog remains as a reminder of her wonderful character and life.

Lorna... catching up with your blog tonight... I remember reading it earlier in 2009 but obviously didn't read it later in 2009. It reminds me very much of the blog I was writing through Dad's illness. Entire emotional roller coaster - highs - lows - highs... Sounds like things are going well at the moment. I found blogging / journal writing therapeutic and the easier way of keeping everyone updated. Thinking of you a lot today and wanted to say "hi". Love, Mary
