"Final" appointment with cancer specialist to say no more scans needed cos all is clear, just a follow-up in six months.

Wonderful news! I have a Neuroendocrine tumour, which I hope will follow your cancer’s example and take a running jump!!

I ate 3 yogurt lollies. For 99p.
Walking back from the shop.
Passion fruit flavour. Though I didn't notice that.
Never had them before.

Many Apologies. The first comment was for madmeg. I need to learn to to proof read!

Such good news nanak. A pleasure to read.

My own pleasure has been doing exactly what I wanted on my birthday. Does that sound selfish? It probably is. Historically I brushed the day aside, resisting any encouragement to celebrate. This year it changed. Mr C and I have had the day I asked for. A visit to Longleat, a long while just looking quietly at the animals going about their daily routine, chatting to guides, stopping for a cuppa and sometimes cake whenever I felt exhaustion creeping on. It was a wonderful day which has filled us both with pleasure and left me thinking how foolish I was not to voice my wishes before.

Madmeg How fantastic. Are you parting or quietly contemplating everything with relief?

Thanks nanaK.

Had a drastic hair cut and I love it.

Enjoyed exchanging victory party memories with others who had similar memories. I was 4 1/2 but recall it clearly.
Also enjoyed hearing about Pope Leo’s election. Good news.

That’s lovely M0nica. Moving house is stressful, so something like that is good to hear.

This evening our house buyers came round to look around again, in light of the survey report (our house is Listed and they are taking the responsibility for caring for such a house very seriously). They are a lovely young couple and we had an enjoyable two hours talking about the house, filling in their sketchy knowledge of its history. It is nice to know that we are passing on our home on to such safe hands

Basking in the sun after preparing my flowerbeds for planting out cosmos grown from seed.

Managed to walk over 5 miles at a National Trust property. Enjoyed every minute! The bluebells were stunning. I’m so thankful I’m able to do it.

Went to a nearby museum. Interesting exhibits and lots of good paintings, and well tended grounds.The coffee was dreadful. Brown hot water.

I can see my Gladioli coming up very nicely .
I've put them in various area around the garden ,but the last area had brambles and clearing them has given me knee pain .
It kept me awake at night .
Seeing them in flower will be my reward .

Right now for me it’s having just caught a bus instead of having just missed one. A very rare pleasure!

What is giving me pleasure right now is looking after my 3 year old granddaughter. We have been to a music class and now she finishing her lunch.

Meeting up with friends at Aquafit.

Meeting up with two friends I used to work with more than 55 years ago. We meet up most months and never run out of conversation.

Today I happened upon this little story of a job that went well.

It was originally on a radio station (that I found accidentally some time ago that’s really for tradespeople - builders and carpenters etc.) FixRadio.
Anyway - sometimes a job just works out beautifully…

Seeing one of the most reluctant members of my school reading group start to blossom as a reader. It gives me immense satisfaction.
