Hi moomy and,

Just to let you know that as I am over 70 (73)   I requested my last mammo and thank goodness I did or I would never have known that I had another cancer!  My previous surgeon advocated this strongly. As I understand it anyone over 70 can request a mammo at your local breast test centre( in my case breast test wales.)But they do not automatically call you,you have to make a note of the date and rerequest about 2 months before. My local centre told me when to put the request in. I would urge anyone to continue with these if at all possible- they can be lifesaving.I know they bring up all the worries again but I also know  it was worth it -treatment started and completed now apart from Letrozole and annual mammo  for 5 years.(Fingers crossed!! ) Sending hugs to everyone xx

Hi kwissy you are so right we have to look out for ourself and be vigilant with anything diff hope treatment is kind to you just think so many changes jus now my lymfidema clinic cancelled my last appt but if urgent you can call but  you don't want to bother them appts made you go well it's actually sunny here in Glasgow take care everyone x

Yes I agree, Kwissy you’re right and I will do so. I found my lump myself but have been breast vigilant since this all took off! 

Done all my jobs, watering the garden, boiling up chicken carcass for stock, picking tomatoes and runner beans and generally tidying up. Now put out garden shade umbrellas and sat in the shade!

Just listened to F1 qualifying this week comes from Silverstone again (about 14 miles from here) as we both always enjoy it. Hubs used to bunk off from school cycle up there and crawl through a gap under the grandstand to watch, he was a track Marshall for a year but spent more time first aiding there. My Dad introduced me to it as he always listened on the radio, always wanted Stirling Moss to get world championship (think he was the most famous driver never to have achieved that!) and so I’ve followed quite a lot over the years. 
it’s a bit more breezy here today so less oppressive but my watch still reads 26 degrees!

I’ve managed to keep the house a bit cooler today, and when it got cooler out than in, I opened lots of windows to help. Hope it will be easier to sleep as a result!

We ate dinner outside, it was lovely. Oddly it was the first time this year. We usually eat out in the garden quite a lot, just hadn’t got round to doing so this year, not sure why.

All washed up and ready for a relaxing evening.......we’ve been chatting about what we need to do and get ready for Tuesday to Thursday’s trip away! And also for our anniversary trip at the end of the month too.

Thank goodness it’s Sunday, I’m going to be catching a couple of cat naps I think moomy to make up for a restless night. Just got a quick wash on which will dry really quick as sun is now coming out and nothing that needs ironing. You are just so organised, have a great day, huge hugs all xx

I collapsed later though! Had a welcome 10 minutes or so while listening to F1 on Radio 5. Watching motor racing now, never seen Formula E before, the sound is very funny!
