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.

Decided can't afford to put things off anymore, surprising how a couple (ahem) of good whiskys in a nice venue helps

1. Managed to climb a ladder and put Xmas lights on the bungalow gutter (the gable ends were a
quite high)
2. Went to Bakewell Xmas market ( journey good! Fresh air good, market rubbish)
3. Went to Sheffield Xmas market had German sausage and mulled wine and managed 10k steps in one day.

be safe, be nice, be you
I think you deserved a German sausage and a mulled wine after climbing up the ladder. Visiting the German market for a Bratwurst and a mulled wine is the perfect start to Christmas celebrations. Hopefully myself and Hubby will be able to do that soon, missed it last year.
