Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark as usual but dry outside , I think we are in a mild spell as well here in brackley ,
By the way brackley featured on TV yesterday morning on BBC Morning live , a local person known as MR Pothole was showing potholes created in local area plus with Matt Allright
Anyway , bus trip to Bicester this morning for my usual hour.
Take Care,
Mick

Mixed bag of posts this morning. Thoughts particularly with Barmyoldbat and Marydoll who have a particularly hard row to hoe just now. We never know what life will throw at us, which is probably just as well.

I have very mixed feelings about Christmas this year and have decided to dispense with the tree - it feels somehow disloyal to DH to just carry on as usual when he won’t be sharing it though will doubtless be lectured by DD.

Off shortly to see DH and hoping he will be in a communicative mood. You just never know.

Thank you grandMattie.

Oh Lauranorderr that is awful news so close to Christmas. I have followed her chemo journey and knew today was the last. I am sending her caring thoughts. She will get through this.

Blossoming ? your post resonated with how much I too miss my darling mother who died 15yrs ago.

Barmeyoldbat, I’m so sorry I missed your post. What an awful tragedy. flowers

Barmeyoldbat How dreadful, my condolences to you and your family on the loss of your DiL, you must all be in shock x

I have missed your updates EV, I may not always comment on them but they are appreciated.

That sounds like a great plan for the day Urms. The fog is lifting a little here, but not enough to see what colour the sky is.

Marydoll I hope you’re planning a restful day and no more running around!

Barmyoldbat that's dreadful. What a nightmare for all concerned. I feel for everyone as I can't believe that something like that happened so suddenly. Thoughts and condolences flowers x

Laurernorder my daughter was due to have her chemo 2 days before Christmas but negotiated with her oncologist and is now having it on the 30 Dec. Still not great but better than being those first few days over Christmas.

Beechnut Tue 14-Dec-21 10:19:32

LauraNorderr Tue 14-Dec-21 10:45:00

Just heard from my beautiful daughter-in-law ‘Christmas is back on! Chemo a go go’ ?
Her words. Don’t know the details yet but she’s having her last session as I write.
Wanted to come back and tell you all so that I don’t draw attention from those who need it more.
All good here thank you.

Stilllearning Tue 14-Dec-21 10:52:56

Wasn’t going to post today because I’m so late but feel I must send condolences to Barmeyoldbat after her awful family tragedy and at the same time say to Laura that I’ll be remembering your DiL and Gymstagrans DD over the next couple of weeks. I wish you strength.

Happy birthday baubles! I hope you get that visit? ???

barmyoldbat sincere condolences to you and your family , what an awful thing to have happened.
marydoll and all others who are struggling, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
MrOops managed a walk to the post box this morning with the Christmas cards and he can now sit down for a few hours as my hairdresser is due to arrive shortly, it’s his first time out for a week.
It’s a dull day here, but at least no wind or gales.
Hugs for those who have worries.
