Today is my birthday! I am counting my blessings!

I am 72 today! The stoma is settling, the backache is tolerable (just) it is not actually raining, symptoms are minor, it is not raining, I am going to see my friend who has Parkinsons, that always reminds me how lucky I am, then I am meeting a friend for lunch, my gradsons are ringing when I get home from school and 21 of us are going to wagamama for Japanese noodles tonight! Life is very good today and that is enough for now!

Margaret!

Dear Margaret

I've been at a UCU training course all day so didn't manage to read your message. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! It sounds as though you'll be having a wonderful day with your friends and calls from family. Be spoilt!!!

You're so right to make the most of every moment. Hope the stall is well attended in Leeds tomorrow but that you don't get too tired for London.

Lots of love, Annie xx

They do keep getting those bloody numbers the wrong way round! LOL!

Had a great night with some great friends! 24 of us! And i am still sober! Anyone into chocolate? If so send me your address! I cannot tell the lovely people who gave me chocs that diabetes and chemo have rendered rhem No, No! And disgusting! Offers for Guylaine Truffles and Thorntons luxury chocs in aid of Ovacome, Target Ovarian Cancer, MacMillan or my Local hospice gratefully received! I will happily pay the postage! Anyone within reach of York will be welcome at my Yard Sale on July 15th! For details email annajohn40@yahoo.co.uk!

Love you all!

Margaret!

Thank-you all! No Surrender indeed Chrissie! My son says that, when Leeds Medical School gets my remains I'll be sitting up on the slab telling them they are not doing it right! LOL! Mind you they are not getting it yet if I can help it! Off to let the soroptimists see one can live and be well with cancer!
