I know that started this brilliant idea so I wanted to carry it on for her and as the forum has become a little gloomy recently as we face loosing them both soon.
So
1. daloni and dizzie outlasted their prognosis by years and I am sure proved that you can have quality of life despite doctors best guesses and we all benefited from knowing them on here.
2. I just got back from a fabulous holiday in Galicia, northern Spain. I walked more than I have for months (chemo pushed me into a wheelchair) the food and wine was fab and I met old friends and laughed a lot.
3. Macmillan have admitted that their upgrade has been a bit sh*t and are working on improving it. Hurrah for Macmillan who have admitted it didn't go well. How many organisations actually come out and say that.
I don't like to think that newbies think that we are a miserable lot, what struck me on here when I came was how much joy, laughter and living went on despite cancer.

Just check with a Brit before you teach your son some of these new phrases, Patricia.
Going to the pub again at lunchtime seeing nice people cheers me up.
Oliver our dog is a joy to take out for a walk.
my husbands driving licence finally arrived in the post. It was a worry as it had expired and took several weeks to come through

Just about to set off. Back to our home marina today, then back to the house for an hour-long shower.
Lovely being on the water. What sort of boat is it Stuart? RDx
She is beautiful. I've long been fascinated at how boats and motor homes etc. get fitted out with all the ingenious little cupboards etc. We've watched various 'canal diaries' programmes on Amazon Prime, which have been fascinating. I hope you get to enjoy many more happy trips, especially whilst it's still warm. Rainie x
