Weekly Photo Challenge: Today with Joy

Weekly Photo Challenge: Today

I will be running a charity event on June 16 to raise money for Piam Brown Ward in Southampton General Hospital. Piam Brown Ward is the Regional Paediatric Oncology and Haematology Unit for Wessex, England.

Why are we raising money for the ward? Read here and a more extensive one here.

See what I got TODAY – a huge box of Fortune Cookies from Mandarin Garden, our local Chinese take-away in Chandlers Ford, Eastleigh.

Fortune Cookies donated by Mandarin Garden, Chandlers Ford, England.

Last week, I bought a box of Fortune Cookies at a great discount from Mandarin Garden. My friend Lili works there, and she helped me talking to her boss about my charity event. My son Ben blogged about it this morning.

This afternoon, I went back to Mandarin Garden again. I told the boss, Anita Lee, that I would love to buy another box, as I expect Fortune Cookies will sell very well at a school fayre.

Anita gave me this huge box of Fortune Cookies for FREE. I was speechless. I went home and  counted them happily. I easily lost count of them. There are about 300.

Now I have 600 Fortune Cookies (and many other things) to sell for Piam Brown Ward on June 16. I’ll sell them at Kings’ School, Winchester.

My friend shileyao took this lovely photo of us when her family stayed with us in spring holiday.

It was taken on a beautiful spring day on April 11, at Lepe beach, Hampshire, before it rained in a typical English way.

The following day, Ben had a medical appointment in the Long-term Follow-up Clinic at Piam Brown ward, the Regional Paediatric Oncology and Haematology Unit for Wessex, based on the top floor of Southampton general Hospital.

Ben had another clean bill of health in this visit. It’s been his 9th year from the end of his treatment for Langerhans’ Cells Histiocytosis (LCH). Continue reading
