OMG I met Phillip Bell in the Lake Tekapo backpackers last night! For those who don't know him he was in my sister's year at primary school and lived in our village - of about 2,000 people (although probably less in those days and i think there were probably only about five boys who started primary with her...). How strange is that?

He was looking at me a few times and i thought it was because i'd been taking about cf. I have decided it is by far the most interesting thing about me and now have no problem telling people about it when they comment on my cough (which is much better now thanks to a cocktail of drugs) or do my nebs in front of them. Can't believe i was so horrible about my ineb when i first got it - there's no way i could have done this trip without it. Well i could've but it would have caused me much more stress and i would have missed it more and so been more ill. So hurrah for the ineb.

Anyway when i walked past he said, are you Lucy? yes Lucy Glynn? And i was in shock and just stared at him as i didn't have a clue who he was. It was really nice to talk to him though especially as he said he'd always liked my mum as she was really 'mummy'. And it was cool seeing him to talk about primary school and village people as i have been feeling a bit home sick.
