Some of you know this already, but I see no reason to keep it a secret. My oncologist told me on Friday that they had done all they can, the cancer is still growing, and that I have months, maybe weeks, left to live. I have no idea what's to come, but I'll be on here as long as I can.

Got more sterile water catheter washout sachets arriving today. I'm getting through those at a rate. I probably need to get hold of a backup catheter-tipped syringe too.

Morning. A long sleep. Good dreams. Too much catastrophising during my waking periods. Bloody hell, reality.

If you're contemplating bed, you could do worse than a bedtime story written and read by @wombat37.bsky.social. His one starts about 6mins and 20 secs in, ish, if you want to skip straight to it.

Traffic is bloody appalling between north Manchester and Bury. A perfect storm of roadworks and accidents. Little M is caught up in it all and my heart goes out to her.

Hey, guess what? Another big block overnight. These cancer clots are a right nuisance now. Had to get the big syringe to squirt 25ml sterile water up into myself, then suck it out again along with big clots. This may have to be a daily occurrence henceforth.

I think I'm going to have to accept that I'll have to unblock my catheter pretty regularly from now on. 😕

4 pics from my life.
Me aged about 6mths in a baby bath Me jumping into a red paddling pool watched by our Westie. I'm wearing a red swimsuit with a white frill. Me standing on an ironing board pretending to surf. Me in a strapless velvet and taffeta dress with one hand on my hip and the other arm pointing upwards. @wombat37 has doctored it to look like I'm poking him up the nose.

Watching England play football. They're too concerned with keeping possession than risk the ball trying to attack. Yawn.

(why not post your own four pics from your life, too?)
A gawky boy leaning on a stone wall looking out over the sea. A handsome young chap with a beard and a woolly hat in front of a stone wall and green hills. Middle-aged old git in some woods, wearing a daft orange hat. An old man now, drinking from my favourite 'Rollie' mug.

#SundayPixPictures I have this hanging in my kitchen. It was a birthday gift from @wombat37.bsky.social some years ago. I love it.
A print mounted in a white frame on a yellow wall. The main colour of the picture is yellow. It has a white sun in the background, then a gret brutalist concrete building and in front of that a black tree. At the top in white letters it says Tomorrow.

Illegal migration has nothing to do with asylum seekers who are here perfectly legally, and should be properly looked after. This sort of ingenuous bullshit is why so many people are pissed off to the knackers with the current Labour Party.
