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.

We need you to post the video ofvyou singing Bat out of He'll please. You and Rainieday doing a duet would be njce!
I have been with a Latvian friend today, seems to have affected my spelling.

I discovered this Danish guy Michael Dandanell on youtube who does some great Meatloaf covers. This is one of my favourites. There's also an app called Youtube mini downloader that I found which is worth having. Enjoy Rainie x
Nine days since any good things posted, so here are mine:
Went on guided fungi walk on saturday - glorious weather unexpectedly. Walk was fun and guide was informative an we found over 60 species. Amazing things of all colours, red, yellow, pink, and so much variety. I was knackered at th end of the day
Spanish tapas restaraunt for sunday lunch was lovely and a great new local find, and I was so pleased to hear my daughter talking to owner and chef in spanish ( she lived there for 4 years, but alway says her level of speaking is not fluent - it is).
Dogs not liking rain much so didnt feel guilty about short walk this morning!
