Her next chemo session of Docetaxel will be on Friday 22nd August and then another session a week later.

So Jude and I went along to the venue next day and spoke to the box office manager to see if we could get a contact for Nina. We explained that we would dearly love a signed copy for you. She agreed to try to arrange to get one for us and we left a note for Nina telling her how disappointed you were at missing the show and asking her to sign the video for you. We went back later that night to see the manager who gave us a big smile and thumbs up and handed us the video.

Whilst we were taking our seats he moved around behaving in character with a German accent and introducing himself as Einstein, welcoming us to Princeton University where he was a professor.\r\n\r\nIt was an amusing performance, punctuated by songs and a rap which all helped to explain the scientific events from 1905 until the dropping of the first Atom Bomb in 1945.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://pigyard.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Dave-Lucie-Einsteinoct14.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-2040 size-medium\" src=\"http://pigyard.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Dave-Lucie-Einsteinoct14-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Dave+Lucie-Einstein(oct14)\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a>He used participants from the audience to explain some of the more complex aspects of the theory of relativity.\r\n\r\nHere you can see our friends and neighbours Dave &amp; Lucie helping to demonstrate that gravity works in a curve and once they were enveloped by gravity they became a black hole - or at least I think that\'s what was going on.\r\n\r\nIt was a great night and no surprise that the show was launched at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2013, it had all the hallmarks of a good Fringe show.

This was a brief history of the key points in Einstein\'s life and an amusing explanation of the special theory of relativity. It was written and played by John Hinton who was excellent. Whilst we were taking our seats he moved around behaving in character with a German accent and introducing himself as Einstein, welcoming us to Princeton University where he was a professor.\r\n\r\nIt was an amusing performance, punctuated by songs and a rap which all helped to explain the scientific events from 1905 until the dropping of the first Atom Bomb in 1945.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://pigyard.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Dave-Lucie-Einsteinoct14.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-2040 size-medium\" src=\"http://pigyard.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Dave-Lucie-Einsteinoct14-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Dave+Lucie-Einstein(oct14)\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a>He used participants from the audience to explain some of the more complex aspects of the theory of relativity.\r\n\r\nHere you can see our friends and neighbours Dave &amp; Lucie helping to demonstrate that gravity works in a curve and once they were enveloped by gravity they became a black hole - or at least I think that\'s what was going on.\r\n\r\nIt was a great night and no surprise that the show was launched at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2013, it had all the hallmarks of a good Fringe show.

It also covered the impact his autism and homosexuality had on his life and sadly, early death. The \"love\" interest was in the shape of Keira Knightley who played Joan Clarke, a brilliant cryptologist and a friend of Turing who was able to interpret the world for him and him to his colleagues working at <a title=\"Bletchley Park\" href=\"http://www.bletchleypark.org.uk/\" target=\"_blank\">Bletchley Park</a>. It\'s an excellent film full of pathos and humour but ultimately quite sad.

We\'d visited <a title=\"Alford Windmill\" href=\"http://www.alford-windmill.co.uk/\" target=\"_blank\">Alford Mill</a> before but it was closed so this time we rang ahead to make sure it would be open.\r\n\r\nWe arrived to find the five sails turning. Most windmills have an even number of sails for the sake of balance so Alford is a rarity. We had a very pleasant lunch in the tea rooms before climbing to the top of the mill - a great experience.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://pigyard.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/jane-chickensoct14.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2125 alignleft\" src=\"http://pigyard.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/jane-chickensoct14-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"jane-chickens(oct14)\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a>Whilst we were travelling to Alford we saw signs for <a title=\"Claythorpe Water Mill\" href=\"http://www.claythorpewatermill.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Claythorpe water mill</a> so we decided to find it and pay a visit. We were in for a great surprise, firstly we were visiting on the final afternoon before it closed for the winter and secondly, apart from the mill there was a large number of animals.\r\n\r\nOf course Jane had to feed the chickens and there were many various breeds.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://pigyard.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/eagle-owloct14.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-2124\" src=\"http://pigyard.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/eagle-owloct14-200x150.jpg\" alt=\"eagle-owl(oct14))\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" /></a>The owls were a bit special.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://pigyard.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/black-swanoct14.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2122\" src=\"http://pigyard.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/black-swanoct14-200x150.jpg\" alt=\"black-swan(oct14)\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" /></a>And the black swan managed to draw blood from me when I tried to feed it grain. Somehow all the birds that Jane fed were very gentle.\r\n\r\nThere were a couple of otters, wallabies, chipmunks and marmosets to keep us entertained; the tea rooms weren\'t too bad either. The watermill is no longer functional which is a shame but the new owners do have plans to get it restored in the future.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;', 'Trouble At Mill', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'closed', '', '2126-revision-v1', '', '', '2014-11-02 11:02:11', '2014-11-02 11:02:11', '', 2126, 'http://pigyard.com/wordpress/archives/2130', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

I\'m not capable of calculating the probability of this happening but it seems very, very remote; if we\'d been ten minutes later we would have missed them. We stood in the car park catching up on each others lives and arranged to meet again in November - what an event that will be. Thankfully on this momentous occasion a nearby workman was persuaded to take a photo.\r\n\r\nWe had lunch with Susie and John catching up with events - Jane\'s health, their holidays, our respective families, life, politics, religion, etc. We managed to occupy our table for nearly two hours and if our parking tickets hadn\'t expired we would probably have spent a lot more time there.

This cartoon depicts the situation very well.\r\n\r\nOn Tuesday Jane had an echocardiogram when we were in and out within an hour, the nurse was very professional and the good news is that Jane\'s heart has not been affected by the chemotherapy.\r\n\r\nOn Thursday it was a CT or CAT scan. For this Jane has to drink a litre of water one hour before the appointment time and within minutes of checking in she is asked to drink another two cups and half an hour later another two cups. Nobody explains why which I think only scores 3 out of 10 for patient involvement. Jane eventually goes in but before the scan they need to inject iodine into her blood. A student nurse has two attempts but fails to insert the cannula and then the \"experienced\" nurse has a go but fails. Let\'s be clear Jane has veins that are very obvious and stand out even after all these weeks of chemo. Jane explains that without the iodine the scan is a waste of time, but hey, it\'s not their time or money they\'re wasting!\r\n\r\nToday (Friday) we saw the oncologist who was spitting feathers because of what had happened at the CAT scan and she called them incompetent and then swore in Italian, or at least we think she swore because she said it in hushed tones and with great vehemence - she was going to have words! Any way, she examines Jane and says she\'s making good progress, the chemo is working but Jane needs an ultrasound to make sure her liver hasn\'t been affected (this would normally show up if the iodine had been injected before the CAT scan). Jane had her bloods taken before we left the hospital and the nurse in haematology had no problem with Jane\'s veins - what does that tell us?\r\n\r\nA good news day, or at least no bad news and Jane has her next day of chemotherapy on Monday.', 'Testing, Testing, is there anyone there?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'closed', '', 'testing-testing-is-there-anyone-there', '', '', '2014-11-08 10:47:21', '2014-11-08 10:47:21', '', 0, 'http://pigyard.com/wordpress/?p=2148', 0, 'post', '', 2),

This cartoon depicts the situation very well.\r\n\r\nOn Tuesday Jane had an echocardiogram when we were in and out within an hour, the nurse was very professional and the good news is that Jane\'s heart has not been affected by the chemotherapy.\r\n\r\nOn Thursday it was a CT or CAT scan. For this Jane has to drink a litre of water one hour before the appointment time and within minutes of checking in she is asked to drink another two cups and half an hour later another two cups. Nobody explains why which I think only scores 3 out of 10 for patient involvement. Jane eventually goes in but before the scan they need to inject iodine into her blood. A student nurse has two attempts but fails to insert the cannula and then the \"experienced\" nurse has a go but fails. Let\'s be clear Jane has veins that are very obvious and stand out even after all these weeks of chemo. Jane explains that without the iodine the scan is a waste of time, but hey, it\'s not their time or money they\'re wasting!\r\n\r\nToday (Friday) we saw the oncologist who was spitting feathers because of what had happened at the CAT scan and she called them incompetent and then swore in Italian, or at least we think she swore because she said it in hushed tones and with great vehemence - she was going to have words! Any way, she examines Jane and says she\'s making good progress, the chemo is working but Jane needs an ultrasound to make sure her liver hasn\'t been affected (this would normally show up if the iodine had been injected before the CAT scan). Jane had her bloods taken before we left the hospital and the nurse in haematology had no problem with Jane\'s veins - what does that tell us?\r\n\r\nA good news day, or at least no bad news and Jane has her next day of chemotherapy on Monday.', 'Testing, Testing, is there anyone there?', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'closed', '', '2148-revision-v1', '', '', '2014-11-07 19:47:48', '2014-11-07 19:47:48', '', 2148, 'http://pigyard.com/wordpress/archives/2151', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

If they weren\'t doing that then what on earth were they doing up here?\r\n\r\nWe enjoyed our visit, the craft fair was ok (I\'m not a great one for Christmas fairs) and the castle was incredible so we rounded it off with a light lunch in <a title=\"Woodhall Spa\" href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodhall_Spa\" target=\"_blank\">Woodhall Spa</a> before heading home.', 'Tattershall Castle', '', 'publish', 'open', 'closed', '', 'tattershall-castle', '', '', '2014-11-15 20:26:43', '2014-11-15 20:26:43', '', 0, 'http://pigyard.com/wordpress/?p=2168', 0, 'post', '', 2),
