What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Menoloud - Shout Out and Stand Up

I came back to Dunoon on Wednesday. The originally planned one week in Edinburgh turned into two, as often happens. Was able to be of further use to the father - like the baking lessons. Then there was the calendar production. Some technical stuff too. It's getting closer to where daily assistance is really required - but he's holding on to that independence with grit.

When I got back, there was the obligatory pile of post behind the front door. Surprisingly, most of it was genuine, needs-attention (and money) stuff, with only a couple of junk items.

Most impawtant of all, though, was this.............
























A button to replace the one which was sadly lost when out and about one day. I love my Greta button and shall wear it proudly. THANK YOU ANGEL GRETA AND FURMILY!!!

The timing was pawfect for me to post this today, because it is also one of the days this month when our televisions will be shouting out loud about fund-raising for cancer research.

Stand Up to Cancer is a global effort, but the UK version is running this very day!

Long-term readers will know that my mother successfully came through breast cancer and had 12 wonderful years before another, highly-aggressive, gut-based form did for her. She had the most amazing support and care at our local hospice, one of the Marie Curie charity, and it is that particular establishment which I choose to support monthly. (See the Bits'n'Badges page for my regulars.)

Whichever of the many cancer-related charities is close to your heart, shout out loud and strong on its behalf!!!
