Friend is out of hospital - doing well and now cancer free. The results of her biopsies show that they got it all with the evil tumour.
Once she is off her pain killers, we are off for a LARGE night of celebration.
The relief that I feel is colossal. So, I'm sure that words cannot describe the elation of her mother, father and fiance.
Alls well that ends well?

Updates
I have finished Eat, Shoots & Leaves - a good read if you like the English Language. I have just started The Ode Less Travelled by Stephen Fry, so I may publish some of my exercises (oh yes, it is an interactive book!) here; as long as they are not too dire.
My friend has had her op, and made it through. It sounds like she had a pretty horrific time of it; the op was longer than the last one and more invasive. As well as the biopsies, they have removed her appendix and flushed round her bowel which involved removing it and putting it back! Eugh!! When I spoke to her Mum last night she was still pretty groggy (my friend, not her Mum) and a bit peeved that they have put a drain in - but coping well. She needs to be in for 5 days so I will be pootling off to see her on Saturday. I could go tomorrow, but feel it is better to wait and take LP with me. Just to save misunderstandings.
That's all for now folks.

Friendship
Well,
My friend goes under the knife, again, today. I can't help sitting here thinking about her; worrying about how she is getting on. I will call her folks later to see how the surgery went. She is being biopsied and investigated to see if the cancer has spread. I don't seem to be able to concentrate very much on work. Funny eh?
On a lighter note, I am reading Eats, Shoots & Leaves at the moment - what a good book! I have never been so aware of my punctuation. I feel the need to start a punctuation revolution. I'm one of those old-fasioned types who hates text speak and un-necessary abbreviation. So let's all embrace grammatically correct punctuation, and keep our English flowing.

Happy Easter
Hope you have a wonderful chocolate filled time.
Although I was at work today, my Easter break started anyway - LP and I had a lie in, not a long one but enough for me to feel lazy and relaxed and happy. Waking up pressed into all the curves on LP's body will do that to me every time, but with an extra 30 minutes to come round naturally it was even better. LP has the most fantastic body and we fit together, like we were made for each other in fact. The morning had none of the usual hustle and bustle, it was slow paced and filled with fun and laughter. The perfect start to the day.
Add that to the fact that today was a jeans at work day and I hardly felt like I was at work at all.

Ramblings
Hello neglected blog!
I am still well - I have even managed to shift a couple of pounds. The cold left me feeling unfit, lethargic and unhealthy. So I have been not eating crap and doing more walking. I have also been laying off the alcohol (unlike my fellow bloggers on their BNO - see FB for more details! It sounds like an excellent time was had by all!).
I did go to the Karaoke on Friday and managed to squawk my way through one number - LP had never seen me strut my stuff on a karaoke so after lubricating myself thoroughly I got up there and croaked my way through an old favourite. It was a good karaoke and a good night, but the establishment left a lot to be desired, and the music was VERY loud and any conversation was impossible. LP and I were sitting close together (as normal) and we had to yell at each other to find out what drinks we were having! That makes me sound very old, but I like to be able to chat with the people I'm out with!! Anyway - a good night was had, but I am not sure whether we will be going back there...
Saturday after LP finished work we went for a walk, fed the ducks, found a quiet pub with good food, ate well and walked home. How good are we!
Sunday was visiting family in London, but we fitted in a walk after lunch with more ducks and some of the clearest water I have seen for a long time - I was quite surprised given we were in London!
Aparently Monday was the happiest day of the year because no one had a Monday feeling due to the 2 short weeks. So, how you all had a good day.
The rest of my week has been pretty standard - the drive to work has been greatly enhanced by the fact the kids are off school so the yummy mummy's incapable of handling their vehicle are off the roads. My journey time has halved - so I have been getting into work early and leaving early. Bliss.
My Friend with Cancer is in for her exploratory op next Tuesday so I will be seeing her over the weekend sometime - I have indulged in a bit of spending and bought her an easter egg. Thought it might cheer her up a bit. Her partner is home for the next 3 weeks so that should be a big help. Bless her, she is worried about him seeing her at her least attractive after the op - I told her not to worry and she would still be as beautiful. She never believes me though!
Quick congratulations for FB who has had a bit of well deserved good news. She has been through some shit, but there is a bit of relief. Hope all continues to go well.

Quiet Night
Well,
The cold is pretty much better - but I am still strugging with my voice. I am off out to a karaoke tonight and about all I'll be able to manage is some Janice Joplin - my voice sounds nothing like me just some cross between something on a 0898 line and a croak. Very odd. So silence will indeed be golden tonight as I will not be able to regale the pub with my usual dulcet tones. How awful.
Other than that, things are good really. LP and I are getting along really well which is always a bonus. We are indulging in LP's hobby quite heavily at the moment, and I am being the helpful and dutiful partner going where ever is required and not moaning so that is helping keep things sweet.
Looking forward to a fun weekend - hope you are too.

I've dot a dit of a dold...
Don't get too close, I am unclean. I have the lurgie - feeling like rubbish! Actually, I am feeling better today. Thursday and Friday were the worst.
I still went out Friday. We (LP and I) were taking my friend of the last post - lets call her Bambi and her boyf to another friends house for beer, pizza and sympathy. I was feeling totally rubbish so decided to self medicate with JD, which seemed to do the trick and perk me up. It was a really good evening with Bambi free to chat about what ails her in good supportive intelligent company. Her man did not let her out of his gaze for a second, which is good to know. I am glad she is in good hands. She was a tower of strength and there were no tears or tantrums - just a chilled out night with plenty of laughs. Just what the doctor ordered all round I think. Bambi's appointment is on 10th April - I just hope and pray that it'll be good news; the cancer was in situ and is all gone now. Fingers crossed please.
This was a silent post as I still don't have much of a voice after the cold. Lucky LP eh?
