Good evening Stella, flowers are such a beautiful thing and makes one feel happy just to look at them. Trust Winston to have a nibble at them . It was rather windy here today with showers, so not a day to sit outside. I am still tired and feeling the cold but trying to get myself going. Have a good night and a grand day tomorrow. Love to Winston from Lilly and a hug for you and Craig from
Angie and Lilly xx
Hi Stella, you are doing really well going to all these different places and boosting the economy as well lol. Hope you have a good week and can maybe do something together with your mum?

Hi everyone, good to hear many of you have had a little enjoyment over the weekend, as they say, every little helps and lovely to hear about your grandson Ellie, and we can all emphasise with the struggles with fatigue and tiredness, just listen to your body, though sometimes as with my treatment, exercise is the best way through it.
My kids mum, eldest daughter and I are visiting our youngests family for the weekend, who all went to the coast today, leaving me to look after the twins who are just 5 months old, a wonderful relaxing day where I couldn't stop smiling, shame I was in tears so often.
love Eddie and family xx
Hi Patrick, I may be the only one who needs the cancer unit lab open today, a bank holiday. My injections for white cells and red cells that I need every 8 weeks, were as usual delivered by the Red Cross last Wednesday and I never opened the bag until Friday night for both injections. Unfortunately, there were only the red cells injections in the bag that I take once a week on Fridays, no sign of the white cells injections. I take the white cells injections on Fridays and Mondays and as it was 6pm, the lab was closed for the weekend. I rang just after 9 this morning on the off chance that the lab would be open but alas it's not.
So I didn't have the injections for white cells on Friday and none for today which is a bit worrying. Fingers crossed that I get through tomorrow morning and I'm ok until then.

Hi
It is very windy here the summer has been and gone! Watching French open with Winston today. He is sleeping through most of it though. When he was younger l, he used to paw the tv screen and try to catch the ball.
Hope you are feeling better today Marie. What is your dog’s name? Any photos?
Angie : how are you feeling today?
Winston tends to sleep with his belly up like a human baby. What about Lily?
This is him right now under my feet.
Hi Stella, Poppy has never been interested in TV, maybe because it's hardly ever on, but she does like Winston's sleeping position.love Eddie and Sheila xx
Hiya Stella, Lilly used to paw the tv too in her salad days. Now she is a bit more mature and just watches. She has been sleepy today and didn’t go out much. Cool and windy here again. Hope you and your loved ones are having a good day and cosy evening. Sending love to you all and a special cuddle to Winston from Lilly
this is Lilly just now xx
love Angie and the above xxx
