Holidays – and Photos – Galore
Ah – the USA lived up to its usual high standards, and my credit card has almost recovered from the complete battering I gave it last week. When the temperature reaches 50 degrees (123 degrees in old money – so yes, hot enough to melt your flipflops to the tarmac), what's a girl…

Myeloma Raffle – We Had a Winner!
Thought this merited a separate post – was DELIGHTED to get a text from Clare Greenwood, having spent the day with me in the hospital, to say that her hubby Andy had won one of the princely raffle prizes from the Myeloma UK Raffle. Sadly – not the fabulously rubbish Spanish Walking Holiday for one……

We Have Holiday Lift Off
Just seen Prof for my pre-hols peeing in a pot and blood test and all is good. So good that he spent most of the session discussing the minutiae of rugby rules in the Lions game with Hawksey. Hello, I was still sitting there you know!! I did at least manage to discover that I don't have Light…

So then, prepare yourselves and your designer wallets to shortly be assailed by my good self, armed with the most desirable item a body can have… Myeloma UK Raffle Tickets. Just imagine how splendiferous these will look, magnetted to your fridge or worn with pride on your lapel. For the bargain price of one small…
