I am trying to keep up with u all hahaha...even had to write stuff down next to names...like Eddie =Sheila.. my heads spinning...so anyway..I love all the gardening pictures and yes I managed to plant up some patio pots yesterday...hard work but should look lovely when blooming.
Hello to anyone new if I missed you. Welcome to this amazing lot.
I noticed a few of u doing your treament stints and I send the hugest hugs and much love. You're all in my thoughts.
Isn't it nice to have this spell of sunshine.
Love to everyone..
Thank you Eddie. I am glad to hear that both Leslie and you’ll eldest daughter are doing well and defied their odds. Hope the same goes for me too. I was just shocked on how quick and aggressive my friend’s cancer has gotten in a matter of 2 months. It makes me value everyday even more.
Hope you managing some time in your garden and enjoy the sunshine. X
Thank you for your kind words. I am trying to keep up beat by cutting roses / peonies from my Gardena and arranging them. Hope your blood test went smoothly today. Does Lily enjoy the warm weather? Winston had a walk outside this morning which he greatly enjoyed.
Love Stella & Winston xx
Hi L1964
I was also informed of my incurable diagnosis at similar time frame as you. It is definitely take sometime to digest and came out the dark hole. I also found gardening but more specifics flower arrangements since the diagnosis. I also made much more time with friends and family.
Other than the physical decline due to chemotherapy, i find mentally I am actually in a good place. This is greatly helped by everyone on this forum.
Take care and talk to you soon. X
Hi again Stella, yes Lilly loves the warm weather. She was outside bouncing around the field behind us early this morning, came back in and had her breakfast and decided to go for a lengthy nap. No Doubt dreaming of her virtual boyfriend Winston . It was another grand sunny day here and looking good for the next few days. Hopefully I will get use out of my new 3 seater garden swing this spring/summer. Have a good evening, love and hugs from
Angie and Lilly xx
Hi Fleabane, would you like a full list of my family, lol, HT and bloods today and results next Tuesday? That's great you got your planters done, I look forward to seeing them in full bloom, and the weather's fab, though a little rain would be nice for the allotment and my new guests.
Eddie xx
