Morning I had my appointment with the oncologist yesterday she is a lovely caring lady but not able to tell me anything as waiting for the report to come from the surgeon who dealt with my op but as they say no news is good news, so not worried, have to wait now for another appointment for a scan, so its get on with the summer.

The sun down here in Devon is shining brightly and already nice and warm so I hope you all have the same.

An old man was asked in an interview how he managed to look so young and fit at 100 yrs old. He replied that when he was in the navy he went to the Far East and went into a herbalist shop and the man there said if you want to live a young and long life you need to have a teaspoon of gun powder in your tea each day, so that's what he did without fail.

Not long after the interview the old chap passed away. He left behind eight children, 16 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren and a 56 foot crater where the crematorium used to be.

Keep smiling be back in a couple of days I hope. Fred aka smiler xxx

Good evening mr smiley, that was a funny joke,just imagine it! It's winter in Oz, but it doesn't get that cold really. Your right about no news is good news if there was something there you would soon know about it. Hope family are doing ok.

So good to have you back Fred, and loved today's joke - even though it's taken me until the afternoon to get round to reading it 😊😊. Where do the hours go! Sincerely hope that your results are good but, as you say, you've got the summer to enjoy. Take care and enjoy the rest of your day. Jan xx

Hi Fred. I agree no news is good news. I once had a message to ring the doctor immediately, worried stiff I rang to find out that the message should have been to ring for a non urgent appointment. A good joke, enjoy the weather while it last.

Good morning Fred, sorry your appointment wasn't fruitful, but I am sure it will all get sorted soon. Your optimism is still shining through with that wicked sense of humor of yours, enjoy the summer not so good here today showery. But tomorrow promises more sun, needed the garden watering anyway :) :) so don't mind a little shower, better get umberella out either for showers or as a parasol, be prepared as the scouts say :) :) xxx

Hi, Smiler, so good to see you back. I don't post often, but do come in each day to see how folks are. I was very worried about you when you went mia, and am very pleased to see you are back with your usual positive self. I hope things are on the up for you and your family now, and wish you all the best. Your jokes are always brilliant, I often relay them to my family, and they give us all a giggle, keep them coming when you feel able. Lovely day here today, just finished dinner, Hubby doing pots, so going to sit in garden for a while and read my book.

Take care, love and hugs.

Christine.

Hi there Sheila thank you for your thoughts and kind words, I have finished treatment at the moment and have another scan beginning of next month and then see the oncologist to see what treatment they will have lined up for me as they will not do the radio frequency ablation anymore because of possible side effects after the amount of procedures I have had. I am still sorting out other family members problems and illnesses but getting sorted. I will return to you all soon as you are all such lovely people.

As for Joyln (Lyn) I have spoke with her and she is taking some time out and going to enjoy summer and I can not blame her as its still early times since her husband passed.

Thanks again Love and hugs...........Keep smiling Fred aka smiler xxx

Take care love to you both . etch45

The treatment I have been having these last couple of years is done under a general and they go in through my back and into the lung and burn the tumours then a month later do the same to the other lung. When I get to speak with Joyln I will pass on your wishes. Right must go as Margaret is calling.

Bye for now Fred xx :)
