Every morning, within the first few minutes of getting up I look in the mirror, pause and mutter something like, “I can’t believe it.” I told you last week that it’s been a year since my successful bowel cancer operation and that’s what I can’t believe. Well, not the passing of time; that’s easy enough…… Continue reading Mirror, Mirror

My first chemo
My laptop is about three years old and ever since the day of purchase it’s been temperamental and slow. Mentioning this a few weeks ago to a friend, she asked if it needed defragging. Which, it turned out had never been done and so after a few hours, the machine was running as though it…… Continue reading My first chemo

Now I’ve returned to 3sixtyfiveblog, here’s the update! Absolutely disappointing. Not a single further bloom appeared. I downloaded the photo on this post from Pixabay but my own plant was virtually…… Continue reading Camellia Day update

A few months ago I published my final post on this blog and signed off. I’d been diagnosed with cancer and didn’t think there was any way I could sustain a daily blog. My cancer treatment is palliative and I didn’t think I would be around for too much longer to be writing blog posts…… Continue reading Well, here we are again!
