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.

3 good things today
1 lunch with my sister
2 jaunt into Haxby to do some Amazon returns. They sent cases for iPhone 7 instead of iPhone plus sigh, but refunds started now
3 Dry & mild although wind cool, very relaxing after a busy week, the Memory Walk total stands at &3,328, £3000 over the target, have been very emotional xx
Now I'm not saying you don't deserve it but the lunches are becoming regular. With your health in mind I imagine you are going for the lettuce three ways? Xx
Excellent news on the sponsorship also good to see you getting out and about
Richard
be safe, be nice, be you
Another good day and 20* too!
1 met a dear friend at the Museum Gardens, and another dear friend joined us after an hour, so much to talk about! My dad used to say my tongue hung in the middle & wagged at both ends
2 Did another leg of the MW, 7 miles to go and £3500 raised so far...
3 No mishaps, not one!!! Taxi drivers lovely, friends took good care of me & the time flew by. Did a somatics class to finish the day & felt the benefit
Somatic, grew up with those, try to do at least 5 every morning! Xxx
You are doing so well. To get out every day
good sunshine here today

Didn't know what it was, so made throw away useless comment as usual. Must think twice and post once!
Was just going to say you were ahead of your time & ask you which 5 you chose! xx
