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.

1. Nice walk in the sun ( even though it was through graveyard - lots of lovely bulbs in flower, shame about all the plastic ones though
)
2. A "charm of goldfinches" in the garden - anyone else remember learning collective nouns at primary school? I would love to see a "parliament of owls" for example.
3. Hot cross bun with lots of butter.
that is a lovely sentiment, and actually brought a tear to my eye, in a good way
