    Back from the in laws. We had a good time,Si’s aunt and uncle were there and we haven’t seen them in a couple of years because she’s been seriously, seriously ill with cancer (and had a good chunk of her spine removed and replaced with titanium rods) so was not allowed anywhere with more than a couple of people. It was so lovely to see them. My FIL bought (or rather was forced to buy by MIL - he doesn’t open his wallet lightly lol) a very old bottle of Armagnac at auction recently which cost £400 - so I had to have a glass. My word it was gaw-juss!
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    She’s treated as far as they can but not cured. She had leukaemia as a teenager and she’s been in remission ever since. Then gets to 60 to get a completely different (bone) cancer, everywhere. We have no idea of her future, but then none of us do I suppose. And yet she still mucks out her 3 horses every single day

    Not at all, it is going better, it’s just not going completely away. She’s really upbeat and positive about it also we’re taking our cue from her

    Edit: SM it’s brandy
