Ella - (((hugs))) and more for your friend.
Today, I tackled the Everest that was my ironing pile - should have lost at least a stone [hollow laugh]
Then I went to see mum and was greeted with 'Well, you took your time coming back after you'd smoked all my cigarettes - you little b****r' It is difficult to remember sometimes that my Mum is the original Mrs Bucket. At least this time we were spared talk of men's bits and pieces!
Tegan A good blaspheme sometimes helps! 
kitty, This is her second lot of cancer, she had ovarian about 6 years ago, and now breast, so she is very angry.
I often send her very rude,funny cards and it makes her laugh and she cheers up a bit.
This time isn't sounding too good, she has had a lumpectomy which is causing problems, has to have a mastectomy and also 2 different lots of chemo.
She's a feisty woman with lots of grit, but this is hard for her.
Thanks kitty .
Tegan flowers and (((hugs))) - it sounds difficult at the mo!
Won't bore you with details about work this morning but just want to let off steam 
....
Feel better for that!
Ariadne a seems appropriate.
I bet you are too Ella 
It makes you feel so helpless doesn't it? Not much you can do but to be there and be led by her.
I asked for advice here when my friend was diagnosed and got lots of helpful suggestions but she says what she appreciates most, at the moment, is texts and phone calls at odd times. I often seem to ring when she is ready to off-load!
(((hugs))) to you for being a good friend.
Thank you, at the moment she is in a state of emotional bewilderment
Ella, sometimes there are no words.
Ella for you and your friend. I hope her treatment goes well.
After an exhausting day at work yesterday and then doing the school run afterwards [was getting ready for bed at 6 ] I was woken up just past 8 this morning by my neighbour cutting his hedge . Which made me think back to Bags asking if 10 o'clock was ok to start working in the garden and made me want to give a heartfelt thanks to her for being so considerate [wish you were my neighbour, Bags ].
It will be good for her to have you around during her next load of treatment, Ella. A good friend at these times is so very important.
It is very hot here, but all the doors and windows are open, the cricket commentary is burbling in the background and the sun is nearly over the yardarm and the arthritis has receded!
Best wishes to your friend Ella and to you I have a friend who is having chemo which has knocked her sideways and it's sometimes hard to do the right thing at the right time.
GA sit down 
. Sad to hear about your fish. One of the reasons we got rid of our pond was that the pesky heron kept taking the fish. Actually, I love herons but that one took the michael!
I hope all goes well for your friend Ella At times like this you really do find out who your true friends are
What a good mate you are, Ella . I hope your friend's treatment will be successful.
Took my friend (who has breast cancer) to Arley Hall gardens late morning.
They are beautiful, but it was sooo hot!
Sat and chatted under a shady tree for a while, she's had a lumpectomy and now has been told she needs a mastectomy and a long course of chemo
She has decided to wait a while to recover from the first op, (and shock).
Had a light lunch and then I took her home (thank goodness for aircon in the car!
Slobbing now in my cool sitting room
Bags Good that all is well.
