Again, apologies for the late update, I have either been busy with hospitals or packing.  I am finally moving in to our new home tomorrow!!

So, I got to leave the hospital last week Thursday evening.  Minna and Keiran came to pick me up.  Keiran drove me to my place so that I could pick up few bits before going to Minna’s.  My plan was to stay at Minna’s a couple of nights until I felt strong enough to go home.  I have to say, at this point I was sick of living out of suitcase, and feeling so homeless.  When you are ill like me, the first thing you want to do, after days in a hospital is to go home, not to trek across London with your stuff…  Do not get me wrong, I enjoy staying at Minna’s, she is a fabulous hostess, I was just tired of feeling so rootless.

The following morning after the hospital, I had the interview with Kevin McCloud at the Maggie’s.  Minna gave me a lovely Finnish dress to wear, it was perfect for the occasion, and it fit me perfectly unlike most of my clothes at present.  The film crew were ready for me pretty soon after I arrived at Maggie’s.  There were two cameramen, well one was a woman actually, so I should say camera people, one sound guy, the director and Kevin.  Initially, they were planning to interview three people who use the centre, but in the end the other two got cancelled, so it was just me!  I got on well with Kevin, he is so charming, and easy to talk to.  I had been worried I would feel intimidated by him, as I find him so intelligent, but no, he made me feel very comfortable.  The interview, or our chat, took about 30 minutes.  Afterwards, the director complimented that I was very natural, and he asked if I had been in TV before!  We will see how I come across on TV…
