    A quick update as the birds are singing and now I've been up to 'pee' I can't get back to sleep.

    Hi everyone.  Hope you are all as well as you can be and that life is being good to you.

    Our Gordy has cancer tumours in his liver as big as my fist and is in a lot of pain, although he is still up and about.  He wants to go to Dubai next month to see our niece Tia who will be visiting my brother Paul with her mother (they live in the Phillipines).  He went to the hospital to get a form filled in to confirm the drugs he…
