Are you having trouble sleeping?
Sleep problems may be caused by how you’re feeling emotionally, or as part of the side effects for cancer treatment. If you find it hard to have a good sleep, you’re not alone. The Online Community is here to support you 24/7.
“Getting a cancer diagnosis is extremely stressful, and that brings a whole load of emotions, and lack of sleep certainly does not help. I think many of us have periods of insomnia. I experienced a long period of not sleeping. I could go off to sleep quite quickly, but after an hour I would find myself wide awake again, and would spend the rest of the night getting frustrated because I couldn't sleep."

Ah - more memories.
In late 1978 my future wife and I were walking the mother in laws dog near the fishing lodges in Alkrington Woods. We could hear a squeaking noise from the River Irk an on checking there was a half drowned puppy trying to get up the bank. We dragged here out and dried her off - we looked but there were no others.
That was our first dog, a black Heinz 57 with 4 white paws and a white tip on her tail - hence her new name "Tipper" and what a great dog she became - she was a family pet for over 18 years.
Manchester Old Road in Rhodes - we would get the bus down to The Wilton and walk back to Middleton having a pint in every pub.
Ah the good old days when the sun always came out and beer was cheap.
Kind regards - Brian.

Thank you Sonia, we do love the odd Cornetto or two and they're perfect for this weather. We've tried chocolate, mint, strawberry and salted caramel - all totally delicious 
Hey, I've loved reading yours and Brian's trip down memory lane and about more current things. I hope he goes for a pint at your brother's pub, and he can tell him we all think the world of you.
We're keeping cool lovely, and you do the same doll xxx
