You know how when you haven't posted for a while, & it feels even more weird to actually post?
*face palm*
So, sorry - I am around & I'm okay. I just don't do much online anymore.

As a quick catch up - since my last post, I've had two new cancerous tumors, two surgeries & one round of radioactive iodine. Things are looking better now & I'm having bi-monthly ultrasounds to check for any other growths. Fingers crossed, things are clear so far.

In more pleasant news:

• I've had a 'big birthday' (50!!) which I celebrated with a fancy dress party with my friends & family & had the Best. Time. Ever.


• Buddy is an old, rather frail boy now, but he's plodding on & still enjoying life. He'll be 13 in January & is managing really well, despite his IBD & arthritis (which we're keeping under control with diet & medication.)


• I've learnt to crochet & am now addicted to making amigurumi animals!


• I've joined a local, amateur theatre company & am enjoying helping with wardrobe & front of house (not acting - you won't get me on stage!)

Here's my little old man enjoying a day at the beach a couple of weeks ago. ♥



Hugs to all!

We had a lovely evening out last night.
We went to the Malvern Festival Theatre to see Agatha Christie's 'The Mousetrap' which is in its 60th year.
It was a lovely, old-style country house murder mystery.  A little dated perhaps (it is 60 years old!) but good fun.
Mr B & I had a guess at the murderer in the interval & it turned out we were right!  Though with all the usual Christie red herrings, it could have been anyone! *g*
Before the theatre, we had a smashing meal at our usual place - a very superior Indian restaurant *g* - & I had a gorgeous Kashmiri Murghi Biryani (which has prune & pineapple in it): yummy!
The only downer of the evening was that I felt a cold creeping on (Mr B has a beaut at the moment) & I've woken up with it in full force. :(

I saw on the news about Hurricane Gonzalo hitting Bermuda. I couldn't help thinking 'I hope that Gus & Mike are okay' & then realised that they don't actually live there (or anywhere beyond my imagination!) What am I like? *g*

Off to pick up the Budlington now - he had a sleepover at his Nan's while we went out. ♥

Happy Sunday, all!
*hugs*

We had a lovely day down in London on Saturday & managed to get last minute tickets for Chariots of Fire at the Gielgud.
What an amazing show! They'd built the stage partly in the round with a few rows of seats actually on the stage like
