It seems I'm a patient now!

One huge step forward, daughters partner has apologised for the problems they’ve been having. An enormous step by partner as apologising is not at all in their nature. Daughter suggested counselling which will, I think, be pursued as agreed that many of the problems do date back to childhood. But this is a huge step forward for them and it might be that a friendship will build again with a bit more trust. 

Phew! It gave me a few thankful tears.

Daughter is off to give another speech, Istanbul this time. She’s currently in Terminal 5 at Heathrow. 

She says they had a long long talk over lunch yesterday so I’m hoping things are quite a bit easier, counselling is going to be accessed. Not for daughter, she’s benefitted hugely from lots of that over the last couple of decades, and is now an excellent listener and has good ideas. But of course was too personally involved to do more than support, listen and help where possible.

moomy , glad that things between your daughter and partner are a bit more manageable, and less worrying for you. Take care xx

Hi all and especially moomy 

ive not been here much, enjoying towns in Germany and Netherlands since hubbies conference. We stayed close to Maastricht and what a town, a half hour walk in and enjoyed the old town, such a delight! Next stop was half an hour walk from the sea but also forest walks, beautiful, but temperature was dropping. We arrived home today in beautiful weather so picked up fallen and bruised apples and cut the grass!

im sorry Moomy about your daughter and your health. Do hope you are looked after.

my bcn’s have been brilliant support, I had cystitis/uti for 9 days while away and I saw a pharmacist in Maastricht suggested homeopathic treatment, cranberry and D-Mannose tablets, which my friend, a homeopathic, said was best thing. I also bought cranberry juice and drank. And drank…. When I could. I have more moisturiser now for the intimate areas, and using twice a day now.

what with hair on my chin y chin chin, ugh! It’s those ‘little’ things that are part and parcel of breast cancer and effects of meds and cancer…. Ho hum

moomy is your garage big and waterproof for your daughters things?

Oh dear, Jayhay , UTIs are so awful! I take Vagifem pessaries twice a week and that has kept mine at bay thankfully, it used to get silly! Checked it out with surgeon in my early days of treatment who said the hormone doesn’t really get anywhere apart from locally and quality of life was important! Glad things helped you! Oh yes, those hairs! What with older vision, too, feeling for them for the tweezering, oh dear!!!

yes, my garage is pretty waterproof thank goodness, and the whole length of the house but still too much of hubs’ stuff in it yet. 

so glad you have enjoyed your break, Maastricht sounds lovely. I do love the way some old towns are so well preserved, Lille was too. 

Im ok apart from those aches and pains, but suspect the only way forward is to get this index finger end joint fixed. It’s not aching quite so much (or maybe I’m dealing with it easier!) but I do often wonder if I’ve some rheumatoid factor as hands, wrists and ankles aren’t the best; but maybe that’s the oestrogen busting meds too. 

Gardens always need work when you return, is it a big garden? Apples, yum (even if fallen)

Did the air suspension on Goldie as it was a wee bit down. The dealer said to keep it around ‘2’ - and it was nearer 1, now well at 2 again. 

Id zoomed to the local Lidl earlier and found a shower head in ‘the middle’ which I’ve fitted. 

At some stage I need to book a tip run to get rid of yet more ‘stuff’. This time it’s stuff that should fit in Goldie. 

Trying not to have an afternoon nap today as I’ve got an alarm set for 5.30am tomorrow, there’s a corporate group booked and staff and volunteers need to be there for 7.30am, (ouch!)

Silly o’clock, and I’m not far off ready to leave home. It feels so wrong getting up this early when it’s for ‘volunteering’!!!

However, I tell myself I do enjoy it! Ha!

Enjoy your day - I hope it goes smoothly & quickly!  So pleased to hear your daughter’s situation is gradually improving.

It’s a strange sort of day, but plenty of coffee! 

I’ve done about 4 demos but answered loads of questions too.

That was a marathon day, but by 5.30pm it was obvious that people who stayed were only staying for a sort of prize giving, a number had already left, so I decided to pack up and leave too. 

Id already planned my dinner (my neighbours street food van!) 

put tv on afterwards and woke up 20 minutes later!
