Seasonal Bleatings
Well, here we are… 2 days to Christmas, my trousers are already unfeasibly tight and there are still a gazillion calories to be consumed and belatedly regretted between now and the prerennial January dietathon. Have had to get off sofa and go to the loo with a blindfold on as H is not so subtley…

You’ve got to laugh.. I guess?
Just thought I'd share this with you, as lots of you ask how my Mum's doing and lots of you will know that to be honest, she's going a wee bit batty. Since she turned 80 in October, the answer in her own words is 'I'm not the woman I used to be'. It's getting…

Dubai – Rugby ‘WAG’ time
It's a miracle – Hawksey goes to the Dubai Rugby Sevens and this time not only manages to stay in one healthy piece for more than the 2 minutes he managed 2 years ago – but actually survives the full three days intact! And I just about manage to survive being a WAG (Wide-Arsed Girlfriend)……

New Baby (clearly not mine!)
And a HUGE HURRAH to Helen & Yat-Soon for producing little baby girl Merle Yeo yesterday. Bloody marvellous news And I promise – eventually – to stop going on about her sounding somewhat like a bottle of fine red wine…. Even if not quite yet! Can't wait to meet her – bet she's a corker…

This week’s hoo hah
So – there's been a bit of a hoohah this week, on the Myeloma UK website. Which has a great facility that all of us poor sods and our families, carers etc use – the Discussion Forums. Where you can post questions ('does anyone know this hospital?' 'what can I expect now I've been put…

My Friend Matt…
God, I don't know where to begin. This won't make cheery reading whether you do or don't know the wonderful man this is about, but I have to put something down in words as a tribute to another friend who didn't deserve for one nano-second what's so so sadly happened to him. Matt Wilkinson – what…

My Friend Neil..
I'm not quite sure how to write this but I got one of those phone calls earlier this evening that you never want to get – which was about one of the good friends I have made through Myeloma, and a friend too of Lou Rutter/Fletcher - Neil Atterson. Neil's girlfriend Liz rang me to say…
