Should said just don't understand.

theres problems at Hemsby already. Some idiot took down a barrier to take a photo last night. Didn't put it back.The barrier was to stop people falling in the water.Some people I just understand.

He may do a better job.

I've watched all them to.Some of them couldn't cook for toffees.

Your not far wrong.

There's always one! At least the girls are doing well! We're be back.Just need new owners .New players,perhaps much better coach

Good morning all.Thankfully I slept better.Only woke once or twice. Feel a bit better.There still trying to improve my BP and sodium. Think that's there aim today.I will try to increase my food a bit.. Ian.

At first my treatment seemed to be going in the right direction. Then since Monday last week.Things started to changed. My taste bubs didn’t want to play. I eat very little. Sunday Ifell out of the shower and neither Marina or I could get me up.Then yesterday after a wash I fell again.3 hours on the floor.Then via Ambulance James Paget. All tests my BP standing becomes low so to is my sodium levels.Im on a drip to hopefully improve those levels.WIl be here at very least tomorrow One good thing I've started to eat a little. Ian.

Some people kindly ask me.How do you cope with Cancer? Good question the simple answer is stay positive. Take all the advice from the experts.Try and maintain some independence.You at times will feel tied,unwell sometimes worried.It helps to talk.I gain lots on monthly Macmillian mornings. Next one Thursday. You get to met others with Cancer.Its never a sad morning,the opposite cheerful encouraging and uplifting. Also the Macmillian support line which has lots of info.Dont forget you're not alone.Theres help and support when you need it. If even in a small way I can help,I will If anyone wants to speak to me.Send me a PM I will give you my mobile number. Stay safe and keep a check on your health. Ian.

I like brown,Marina ketchup. Bit left field,this morning I had Worcester Sauce.

Most of the day, I do nothing. This morning bacon sandwich for breakfast. I've put together gift boxes for the Macmillan nurses,some from the Chapel and Zac and his team.Woll cook dinner.S almon veg sliced baked potatoes and a little sauce.

Still have problems with saw mouth.Took first tablet this morning. Have a 7 day course. Today I'm a bit waked. Yesterday lots of walking which for me may have been to much. Ian

Still not out of the woods.I had a MRI and CT in October. Marina and I saw Zac my Consultant on 21 November. There seemed to be a problem at first with my head.He sent everything down to Addenbrookes. They checked and said with my head no treatment required. Regarding my CT, it showed small spots at the top of my lungs.We discussed the options and decided on Chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Then my luck,following a bowel screening test.I had a CT and the camera. Thankfully no cancer on my stomach ,but I now have diverticulitis. I now keep a check on what I eat.Last Thursday I had my first treatment. So far, not to many side effects. Feel tired at times.My taste buds have gone south.Everything tastes of sugar and my mouth is saw.I went to hospital this morning. They've given me tablets hopefully that will sort it out.I will have four treatments 3 weeks apart over 12 weeks. Reviews,then they may reduce the dose for up to two years.My treatments take place at the Sandra Chapman Centre James Paget. It's very relaxed you can make tea,coffee and during treatment you get lunch.I have access via mobile 24 hours and if I need to go A&E I'm fast tracked so no waiting hours.Will go straight onto the ward. I'm okay feelng a bit overwhelmed at times,but still continue to be positive. Ian

You've not seen Mine,but fair do there not bad.I have an excuse being a Chef I've made well over 100 thousand Yokies over the years.From canape size to large dinner plate ones.Glad you made your own.

Not bad

I spoke with my GP yesterday. Got some info which hopefully helps.

Well you could.Sure a little nip would help.

Gracie by as I'm sure you do.Giving your parents support will help no end.Perhaps a little surprise now and again.A card, flowers or some of your chocolates.

9Last week following a test on my bowel.Due to the screening test.I was told I had diurticulitis.Something I've never heard of before.Ive been having problems with my stomach since September.So on the one hand I'm pleased now knowing what is causing the pain. The test for me a CT and the camera,I was in lots of pain.Thankfully that's improved a bit.There are triggers with some foods that cause pain and discomfort. I'm keeping a food diary.Yesterday fine until about 8.00,then pain.May of been Due to piece of Swiss roll of all things. So yet again another fight. Ian

I've nothing but admiration for the NHS.Sadly in the last three years,I've had lots of treatment. They have been kind ,understanding and first class treatment .

Sorry won't agree about smoking.Until 18 years ago I was a heavy smoker.Even then I hated smokey pubs.If anything more people visit pubs in better air.Even fairly remote pubs can been successful. It needs work and gaining a reputation. Not easy but can be done .

I've said many times.The most successful pubs ard those that offer good food, drink and keep people entertained every day Have something different each day I'm not talking about just music.

We went in once in the summer. All we wanted for lunch. Was simple sandwiches. None was available. And there were very few people there.

We had a little snow this morning,in Martham. Then we went to garden centres,Pulham market. Very foggy,think due to frost lifing. Headed home it became sunny.At home cold but clear sky.
