My eldest son’s leavers ball tonight. Feel the same as you @salbert.
No problem for me if people out of office. I can wait a few days as I am also out of office. I have waited 2 years for this. Can’t describe how I feel.

@norts @salbert enjoy your sons prom, I pray to grow older and healthier to be able to attend my son’s too.
@norts what a beautiful scenery and you look fab too, I find sea very therapeutical as I being raised in one of beautiful cities in Morocco where the Mediterranean meet the Atlantic Ocean called Tangier unfortunately I came to UK and living in one of non pleasant town Called Slough.
What I love in UK in general is the health system that is looking after us and all the NHS stuff that they doing their best to get our treatment.

@hasnae87 That’s quite a change! I really miss the sea so much, we’re so far away from it in Berkshire/Oxfordshire. You don’t get office views like this in Slough.
@carrie5 Congrats on finishing!

… I hope you gave that bench a good hard slap !
The book sounds brilliant . I’m definitely happy to contribute x
@norts - you are looking fabulous …xx
To you and @salbert … the proms cone round do quickly . Like you say . One minute they are tots and the next … fully grown humans ! Enjoy the proms ! I love seeing the prom photos of my friends children on fb … all mine are grown bar my daughter who goes into year 11 in September … my goal is to see her prom and my little grandsons … he’s only two right now x
We’ve been busy completing on a house in N Wales and consoling my poor daughter who has just had a misscarraige 
she desperately wants a sibling for her two year old but it just hasn’t happened … and she was so excited to finally get a positive …
On a nicer note I painted at Emily Atacks party on Saturday for her little boys first birthday … she’s lovely and her partners mum has had breast cancer too … but is now absolutely well and looking fab x

This is the view from a restaurant I used to go with my collegues near the port in Tangier I used to work at.
I hope to go again after I finish my treatment.

@hasnae87 Wait, which port did you work at? That would be really weird if we worked together. I was based in the UK, but was down there working with colleagues at TM2.

@galdiolus, covid, it is a real swine. Are you feeling rough? My sister and brother-in-law both tested positive last week. He’d been to a book launch with a colleague in Madrid. Had spent 4 years editing a book about popular music. They were both feeling rubbish in their respective hotel rooms. Instead of the massive Toblerone my sister requested from duty free she got ‘the Covid!’ She had to cancel her eyelash perm - I dream of eyelashes, let alone styling them. As she didn’t give 48 hours notice she was still charged £54. I wouldn’t pay that for a haircut! I’m a cheapskate. I get that they couldn’t fill the slot at short notice but she did the right thing not going. I would be boycotting them on principle! Then they missed the solstice. Had a pitch booked with their 40 year old
year old camper van. It’s got a carpeted dashboard
@arty1 thank you for appreciating my sense of humour. My husband doesn’t think I’m particularly funny, occasionally I’ll be surprised if I make him laugh!
@salbert, it might not scan but with a change of one word and one letter it’s perfect… Green, green wee…Blue, blue nips’
‘You’d better throw a party on the day that they dye!’
@kartoffel a new diagnosis of ADHD is a lot. My sister had the same news a few years ago at the age of 56. It all makes perfect now we know. We understand why she is how she is and how the had been. Medication has been helpful though she’s had to try a few.
@galdiolus Great book title. I’m in too!
I was discharged home yesterday before lunch. Surgeon pleased with the outcome. I hadn’t bought a support bra as I did not one what size I’d be plus nurse said that sometimes the surgeon says no bra ti preserve blood flow to the nipples. He said I needed to start wearing the bra night and day for 12 weeks. This meant stopping off at M&S on the way home. I made it as far as the cafe then my daughter commandeered a wheelchair. There I was bald, with drains and PICO tubing, 18 hours post op looking at bras and at eye level of crotches. A complaint my Mum shared if she’d passed too many men when I took her out. Husband said I looked dreadful. The cashier was in awe of me going through treatment, the surgery and then going shopping! Personally I think I needed to be slapped like a bench for being an idiot! Had a choice of one hideous bra so I bought it. Annoyingly can’t check stock levels in other stores nor can they order for you. Instead order online and pay £3.99 postage where previously it was free.
Snatched 30 minutes sleep when I got home but thanks to a sleeping tablet 11 glorious hours last night. I didn’t move. Feeling sore today. They feel like they’re high up near my neck and very firm. Waiting for them to look battered and bruised as promised then in 6 months, drop to where they’re meant to be.
I don’t know how I feel now that they’ve gone. Can’t believe I made it through the chemo and now the surgery is done. Now the wait for the results… in my usual style I’ll think about that when I have to. One day at a time. X

Happy the surgery went well and nothing will beat 11 hours of sleep and you deserve it after going through chemo too.
