all you need is love ?

Hello blog,

'all you need is love'

sometime you need a bit more-love we have .

We need better pain relief- family living closer-a bigger house reliable care........................................

As I type I can smell the aroma from the Christmas cake which is still in the oven.


I find that a re-assuring smell.I love baking at this time of year - it feels right-like making soup-going to the pictures- autumn leaves..........................................................

Tomorrow we go to the Marie Curie to see if John can have a new pain relief regime for the next month-till the chemo starts.If indeed it does start in one months time.

I am hoping for palliative care to be offered as another option.

I feel anxious about being able to take care of John if he is unwell while he is on chemo.

John knows this and knows that I will be asking questions tomorrow about where I am in all this.

We have also talked about what John would like at his funeral service and about where his ashes have to be scattered.Not an easy conversation but we both feel better talking about it.


There is a house meeting tonight- but I will not go -or maybe for half an hour- it is mainly about Rachel and Adam handing over the "books" to Ben and Erangi.

I think I will learn enough from the minutes,

I am grateful that Andrew fixed up the TV and the DVD player . I am enjoying The Good Wife- I have so many options for entertainment now.Lots of DVDs from last Christmas-and films on Netflix- I like a few things on TV. Only Connect- University Challenge- New Tricks-Bake Off.

I loved 'The Village' a few things but not a lot these days-Mostly I listen to Radio 4 Radio 3 and read my Kindle which I love.


All shall be well
and all shall be well
and all manner of things shall be well................................and so it is.
