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.

    Got a few good things.

    1. Estate agent is hopeful of a good price for our bungalow.  Putting it on the market Monday. 

    2. Spent the afternoon at Sissinghurst Castle in Kent. Vita Sackville West lived there and designed it.

    3. Got into the gardens with picnic and prosecco, not allowed but special rules apply to us!

    Thats it folks.

  • Sounds a very good day. Lovely to have a picnic at a castle.

    I am hoping we will get to drive to the seaside an hour away next week

    Great to hear your return to work went ok little-fi, always an anxious time.

    Enjoy the pub time, you are quite likely to bump into Ruth, she hasn't let a sunny day go yet without being rewarded with a pub lunch.!

    Had a family BBQ and really enjoyed it, everyone in good form.

    Had a long chat today with someone who’s become a good friend in a short time. Lots of laughs and the hope of meeting up once things are a bit more settled for travelling.

    Had a very restful day, lovely sunshine & the garden coming into full bloom and full of birds. xx

  • My son returned to uni, we had a lovely pub meal near his uni

    had a lovely afternoon with my daughter who I haven’t seen for months

    had a lovely Friday afternoon with a friend in the garden, so pleased the weather has been kind enough to enjoy these simple things this weekend
