I absolutely love this dufus but let me tell you a little story. He fell asleep on me yesterday whilst I was working, with Flash on a chair next to us. Melle farted so loudly he woke Flash up, startling the little old man so much he pops up off the chair

A long long time ago I heard a sound on the radio and it just resonated with me. It was about the time I met Jim, so he bought us tickets to see The Gaslight Anthem's first UK tour, for one of our very early dates. And here we are almost a million years l

The cancer in my abdomen is growing again. I'm still stable in terms of scan speak, but I'm not STABLE, stable. Whether it's figured out how to outsmart enhertu, or it's because I've been trying a reduced dose of late we're not sure, and, we won't know fo

Sorry for another pic of my face - but it's treatment day. On a Monday. It's been a long time since I had a Monday treatment but because of my brutal dose of tonsillitis, treatment had to move. So for the next few goes I'm on a Monday timetable! So here I

Treatment has been delayed......... Turns out that rocking up to pre-treatment bloods yesterday with a raging bout of tonsillitis* means that treatment isn't going ahead. This is the first time treatment has been delayed for anything other than a holiday

It's 6 years since I was diagnosed with my primary cancer (and as such it’s just over 4 and a half years since my MBC diagnosis) I won’t be ‘celebrating’ this cancerversary but I thought it might be useful to recap when I was diagnosed with cancer - I spe

My nannans favourite flowers were gladioli. I bought her a bunch every time I saw them. (Well, usually 2 bunches. Her vases we're big.) A few years ago I planted a packet of glads in my garden so I could take her a bunch I'd grown - but I think I only got

Yesterday I went for the sort of walk that you see protagonists taking in period dramas. Mist, turns to drizzle, turns to rain. Then they catch a cold, take to their bed and write terrible poetry or something whilst their love interest pines for them. I p

I've had myself some solo dates with Flash recently whilst Jim's been taking Melle running and it's been lovely to spend some time alone with this handsome beast. If you're wondering why Jim isn't taking Flash running then you've clearly never met Sir Poo

One of my favourite people in the whole wide world has asked me to be her godmother. I won't lie and say it didn't make me cry a little to be asked to do something so special for someone I love so much. Thank you, Miss Ru. You've made my week, my month, m

Went out on my floating sunbed at the weekend for a few moments of calm. I promise you I did do some paddling. And yes, I've been called a paddleboard wanker, I've had the piss taken out of me for enjoying this, even though I can't go every day like the s

On Thursday night we dined like the royalty we are. Jim's mum bought us a voucher to @northcoteuk a few Christmas' ago, and we were finally able to use it this week and it did not disappoint. This scallop with tomato and basil was maybe my favourite - but

I'm in the middle of the busiest 10 days ever. It was chemo on Thursday, on Friday we we're in Devon with friends for the weekend in the bongo, last night we saw Kings of Leon in Manchester, tomorrow we're eating at Northcote, and on Friday we're headed t

These treatment days come round faster than I am happy with at the moment and when I ask Jim if I can wag chemo he's decidedly firm in telling me I have to go. Sometimes I don't want to go to the hospital - no matter how nice my oncolgy team are. Sometime

The Glasto fomo was real this year, but I've had a few people who asked why I wasn't heading back to the farm again........ And honestly, it's because I'm not sure if have been well enough to do it without my cancer impacting Jim (or my friends.) Yes, I *

Can't begin to tell you how obsessed this lad is with the paddleboard. He jumped from the boat, on to the tender, and then to my board to make sure he didn't get left behind the other day. But he's not got the chilling out part down - he jumps in the wate

I might not have mastered the end of the paddle selfie (my gopro isn't listening to my instructions ♀️) and I might not have mastered staying upright when Melle jumps off the board after some fish, but I'm definitely mastering the having fun on the water

Spent yesterday on the water. We sailed over to the helford, I paddled around on the river, then we sailed back. Caught this beauty out for an evening sail as we passd by St Anthony's too. . . . . . . . . . #falifornia #kernow #cornwall #mylor #seaphotogr

It's not raining, or quite as windy. And there are blue skies today but I can't help but share this from yesterday. Holed up, under blankets, in sailing jackets, drinking gin. Not a terrible Sunday tbf. . . . . . . . . . #falifornia #kernow #cornwall #myl

This was Friday night. When I arrived at the boat. I don't think el dronio would stand a chance against the 35+ mph winds that were battering the boat yesterday, or the rain. Being huddled under the boat awning, dogs in blankets, me in a coat, wasn't quit

It's treatment day - again. And I want to address something I've been thinking about lately..... I know it's not everyone's choice to be open and vocal about their life with cancer, some people can't let it in like that, and I totally respect their decisi

June or October. You decide. Melle and I headed out for a cold and rainy wander today. We got in about 4 miles of fun - he had a little swim, some epic zoomies and was generally a very good boy! And yes, I only had one of the dogs with me today as Flash h
