Can we not talk about us as people, post lovely photos of where we live , our pets our hobbies when we were well, and will do again! It's all so depressing, need a bit of joy to keep us going! Xx

Gorgeous!!! 😀
Definitely agree with you, talking about life, things that encourage us and bring hope is so important. We do need joy, sometimes when we are so unwell and hope and joy seem to have deserted us, it is then that others can lift us.

Yes, what a good idea to get to know a little about each other as people with families, animals and homes. I absolutely agree that we should not be defined by our illnesses.
Here is a photograph of me at home wishing everyone who sees this, a very Happy New Year and good progress in 2019. I think your Barney is better looking and a lot more cuddly, but we don't have a dog and my wife is a bit shy at the moment, so it is the best I can do.
Cheers

Hi Rob,
Brilliant! 🤣🤣
I would put a Christmas pic up, but I am useless at taking selfies, so will wait until someone around to take one! Haha!
Very best wishes to you and your lovely wife!

Lets all enjoy the celebrations. We deserve it.

That is beautiful, how lovely of your daughter to take the time to do it. It is a lovely design. I love doing cross stitch, it is so relaxing, plus it helps to do something in the evenings when watching TV to help keep my hands away from the sweets and biscuits! 😂
Yes, in the midst of tough times, we see rays of sunshine that heal our hearts.

What a lovely gift from your daughter. She is clearly very caring and loving.
Know what you mean about being in the right mindset. I stopped playing my piano for several weeks last year. My mind had too much going on and I lost interest. Funny that my wife, Mary, who was always complaining about the noise (as if!) suddenly started missing it. She daren’t complain now. 😈
Hopefully you will feel a lot more settled after tomorrow.

Hi Rob,
Wow! Fantastic photo, how gorgeous! Looks beautiful. So peaceful, I can hear the sound of the waves as they roll in, the smell of salt in the air. The sunset here was beautiful too.

Love your happy smile, lucky you. What an experience and great that we won't let cancer take over our lives.
Hope Lesley is coping OK. I do miss her warmth and sense of fun.

Thank you! It was awesome, we were talking about it today.
Yes, been thinking about Lesley too .I did send her a post the other day. Hopefully she'll be back soon. Chemo days are so tough.
