A new month. A new challenge !
Do more of what you love , then come and tell us or show us and despite all that is going on in everyone’s life we can squeeze in some joy !
Couple of challenges going on in our wee Corner of the world . One in memory of dad . A walking challenge ! Just a small one so we don’t get put off !
The other is some therapy ! Mum having not picked up an art brush in thirty years did a seascape . So I will photograph that and post it later and relearning to knit . She is thoroughly enjoying both .
Of course there is the other challenge of preparing for her first intravenous treatment in thirteen years but there is definitely a big win in that equation when you think about it .
Hope you all have a good day and for those in treatment I hope it’s being kind and manageable.
One final point Kareno62 is definitely in the wrong profession . She clearly is a detective and spotted some interesting going ones in Mrs s household . By far the most interesting creation of a bowel I have ever seen in my life and I feel it needs to go and live in some bowel advocacy project to get the attention it deserves .
Wellspring and Gemmary I am actively looking at signs of spring popping through too .
The adventure continues !

Had a very busy weekend between my mum and looking after this big boy !
Never had a dog overnight, neither has he been left overnight . He did so well . Every time I stood up he came with me . Sneaked upstairs to sleep on the landing but got smart and discovered if he barked he would wake up granny so ended up in my room in the early hours of the morning .
I will admit to being very tired .

A photo of Sidmouth where I shall be going in August to the Folk Festival. I don't know if I'll be well enough but I'm going ahead with all preparations. I am loving my supportive family and friends and my journey with incurable cancer is teaching me many things. Most of the time I am positive and happy occasionally I have a blip but not very often. I read about everyone having their various treatments and operations and wish them all well. I don't often post on here feeling sometimes that I shouldn't because of my position, I wouldn't want to upset anyone or cause them to worry,
I wish everyone on here all the very best.

Hi Kettleson
Please feel free to post whenever you wish. Your need is just as great and important, if not greater than many of us who post.
No-one will judge whether your having good or bad day - we'd be delighted to listen, laugh or cry with you
Big virtual hug and love your travel plans
Hi Ali
Please post we are all in this together and there’s no worrying others.
I can empathise with you , I am having investigations into a possible spread of the Ghouls. I stayed away for a while but thought no I’m not giving up. I’m a member of lots of groups relevant to me
It keeps me going
Share your good days if you feel like it. I find it inspiring and if it helps please share your bad days
Take care
Ann
Hi Artsie and CrumpetsOrToast
Thanks for your comments and friendship. I guess I was reaching out but glad I did from your replies. This forum is so good for support and caring for others as well as yourself and sometimes you need to talk to someone who is going through the cancer ordeal too.
Crumpets every time by the way.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
