    So over many years (about 15-18, since he owned his own house, and moved out from his M&D's) Hubby has built up quite a collection of different Whiskys, his Scottish heritage will be proud of.

    The collection filled 2 1/2 packing boxes when we moved. We won't mention the one I opened and the cork split and went into the bottle - oopsie. Don't worry decanted and put into crystal decanter. We have a Whiskey label…

    Just to let you all know David is feeling a bit better.

    David enjoyed watching the children enjoying themselves, and even managed to partake in as much as possible and enjoy the days out too.

    We have just 2 weeks left, the kids are starting to get on my nerves now that the trips out are starting to reduce…

    So we found out that David hasn't got cancer anywhere else just in his head.

    And I was right that they (the oncologists) thought the brain cancer had gone following the radiotherapy.

    So apart from the detection of these blood clots on David's lungs the CT scan was essentially a waste of time. Apparently cancer patients are at high risk of blood clots in lungs according to research I did on the internet. Not that every…
