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."

Ouch Ray! To me, those procedures sound nasty but I imagine you're well used to them and know when to steel yourself. Great news that you're back in the swing! You really should rethink driving to Wales as there's nothing better than the sea for an instant uplift.
The autumn leaves pattern for a quilt cover sounds interesting. We used to have one in green, but it's long gone now so I'll keep my eyes peeled on our next shopping expedition.
Ray, if your weeds are hardy, I can hold intelligent conversations with ours, they're that big and ancient! I'm gonna have to get someone to sort them out as OH and myself are too knackered and ancient. They've had a massive growth spurt due to the flipping sun! 
Get your driving gloves aired off hon xxx
Well, I’ve had some very unexpected but very good news today which makes a lovely change.
A message arrived from daughter number 2 with several photos attached-she and her fiancé got married last week and are on the last day of their honeymoon..in Gibraltar!!
I knew they had gone to Spain on holiday and were doing a driving trip through southern Spain but had no idea of their other plans! She looked so beautiful I was in tears….happy tears. They’ve been together for years and I always thought they would marry but just thought it was taking a long time to happen. My new son in law is a lovely chap so I was beyond delighted for them.
Hope everyone’s doing ok today and that your hubby is picking up a bit, Dingg. Hope your check up went well Helen and all is fine.
Ray, we go though Stony Stratford often on our trips to family in MK, well, moved to Deanshanger now, but we love going through the nice little places on our trips to get there.
I’m going to have a smiley face on all day now!

Guzzinder your bed. 
Gill, I have captured a 'flavour' of my vegetation by taking an extremely amateurish photo using the Mac's camera. Of course, soon as I stepped outside I could not see the screen in the strong sunlight. My hands are far from steady as well. That's some of the excuses out in the open 
. The photo does not do justice to these lovely 'grannies bonnets.' No doubt they'll have a proper name to those in the know. They popped up several years ago, and in my official position of 'Protector of Weeds' I have prevented my son's efforts to eradicate them ever since. He prefers very low maintenance gardens e.g. concrete, maybe painted green as a concession. The back garden has been de-honeysuckled by him at my request. It was taking over and smothering everything. On my next expedition out back I may attempt a photo of the blossoming hawthorn tree. Ray x
That's lovely Sarah and congratulations to them both
. Thanks for sharing.
That happy news will keep you smiling for ages!
