Another Beautiful Day

The weather is just fantastic at the moment; another day of blue cloudless skies and sunshine. I spent the morning in the garden. We hunted for a cottage with as small a garden as possible, most French houses come with a lake, 3 acres and a ruined chateau whether you like it or not. My idea of a holiday is most certainly not racing round on a 'sit-on' mower. Don't get me wrong; I like boy toys. I have a chainsaw; macho eh? Teresa begins a time of concerted intercession everytime I rev. it up. To be honest most of our logs are purchased at the local supermarche.


We went down to the beach this afternoon and a walk up to the cliffs - beautiful. Had a pray up there. Asked Father God to heal me again. Come on Lord, do your stuff! Breathed in the ozone and reminded ourselves just how much we love Brittany. Headed home via Pont Aven which is always perfect. The town was the home of Gaugin famous for his picture of the 'Yellow Christ'.

Managed to find a great game in the local supermarche that my parents introduced to us at Center Parcs caled 'Rummikub'. Couldn't find it in England only problem is the rules are in French so...'Vous pouvez diviser ou agrandir une serie ou que sequence contenant un joker, pour reconstituer des combinaisons nouvelles' - simple really. Due for a monopoly re-match with Carys tonight followed by 24. Any other Jack Bauer fans out there? We're on episodes 5,6 & 7 of series 5 tonight - so addictive!

Healthwise last night was not too good, was sick and felt 'odd'. Today's been much better. Starting to worry about next week's chemo but should be easier with the PIC line. Still have 100% of my hair and nails (due to fall out tomorrow according to a fellow sufferers blog). Will let you know if I look like Kojak and suddenly fancy a lolipop. If I fancy Kojak and look like a lolipop I'll keep that to myself.

Planning a trip to Concarneau tomorrow and we'll visit our little chapel there and light a candle.

Have a great evening

Dave

Hiya Wrens

Too much wine (hick), us (hick) we are teetotal Methodists (burp) and never touch a drop. Adrin & Ann lead us astray; we only drink with them - honest.

Wondered what viewsnxbcna meant???
Pink champagne; I understand!

Why surprised that you "felt a little odd?"

YOU ARE A LITTLE ODD!

Glad, however, that the feeling passed, and you were able to enjoy your wine, er sorry, yourSELF again.
I do not drink much wine myself...I prefer rocket fuel....( Tennants Extra, from the can, of course).We are not brung up so posh in small Welsh villages.
All your worries are our worries, we are with you every step of the way...the good news., ...so is our Father, and He has hold of you all.

We pray that you continue to have a great time together, and the only "odd" feelings are caused by too much vin!

Bore da, mon amies,(how's the spolling?)

Hi Guys. Have no idea if this will work. Thought that as we are supposed to be such good mates, we ought to drag ourselves into the 21st century with you and reply to your blog.
So good to see you having a great time in France. We very much approve of spending the equivalent of the GDP of a small country - as long as it includes fizz for us!!!!!
Don't forget to cheat at monopoly - send Carys out to the toilet a few times and slip those £500 notes!!!
Love ya loads and praying more.
Nick, Sarah and the gang xxxxx

I'm sorry but 2 lollipops in the group is just too much. What with my ever increasing grey hair there'll only be Cloe with a normal head of hair. How will we encourage these young people to grow up 'normal' with us as role models
Spoke at the Baptist Ladies meeting yesterday. Honestly I'd rather face 50 teenagers than 15 elderley ladies dressed up for "going out" No, seriously they were lovely but give me the kids anyday. Anyway they are now all praying for you as well.
Have great time with your last day.
Manny hugs and prayers from the XLR8 'granny'

Chloe - well done! Isn't it what you're paid for?? Don't your game up darlin! REMEMBER ironing, cleaning, mowing, dog walking, car washing, money laundering, drug dealing and finding yourself a nice Christian boyfriend. Can anyone else help???

Sian - Typical Anglican! My Wesleyan heart breaks for your debauched and drunken soul(hick). Will pray for you whilst lying prostrate before the lord soaking in a Torontoesque posture of deep intercession surrounded by empty bottles later this evening after the poker.

Mu - No lollipops yet. How come I don't get to terrorise Baptists? You get all the fun.

Nick & Sarah - we were wondering if you ever read our blog. We cried ourselves to sleep a few over it. No point in writing nice things about you if you're not reading them. Fizz can be organised; infact consider it done. Give Alfie a sniff from us. See ya next week bessie mates.
