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.

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.

My son and his wife live in Aberdeen. I love Braemar and surrounding area. Aboyne too. Had many lovely holidays in Scotland. One of my best short breaks was at MacDonald Forest Hills.

What about me , I'm in Northern Ireland, next country west is USA!

Take care and stay safe

Love life and family.

We moved from Aberdeen to Inverurie last year! It's beautiful up here, especially Deeside.

That's true Tvman, you are foreign but not really!

Well Ted, of course I am Scottish and proud of it too! I would have replied earlier but I was either too worse for wear OR I couldn't get signed in to the site! You choose which one to believe!

I would like to know why TVman isn't classed as a foreigner and I am, this is totally unfair. But then again the sassenachs outnumber us, so can do what they like! Ochie no one said it was a fair world!! Lol!

First of all I was in shock. I thought our new chum was a nice home counties lady, I find out she is a highlander who still is grumpy because of Colodden or coludden, whatever.

that is getting on here via fraud.

you are an honoury English person due to long service.

how did I get in this mess?

3. Being off meds I’ve been able to have a couple of drinks the last couple of days it’s been nice

It's not what you envisaged some weeks ago but it sounds good. A treat to have a drink as well.

Let's get you fixed and ready to enjoy the summer.
