If anyone has any pictures to share they'd be lovely to see. People have asked about donating on Ent's behalf and he had suggested giving to the Christie's Hospital. A page has already been set up to donate to their charity here if anyone had wanted to www.justgiving.com/page/codebun...

I'm so glad you're back on your feet as it's been lovely seeing you out again this week too. You've been such an amazing help both practically, and just as a great friend being here when I've needed that fuzzy shoulder! *hugs*

I am touched that you still remember this too! ❤️ It remains a very special piece of music to me too to this day.

You're someone I always like to see more of having been a close friend for so many years. Will try and catch up on Discord and see what we can do

Thanks Lupe. *hugs* 26th should be fine too so I've at least scribbled it in for now.

Any friends who do want to visit me at home in Manchester get in touch and I'll see what we can do as any company is welcome. You may just have to cope with potentially short sessions and seeing me hooked up to various things. But even if you can't, still know I love every one of you always! <3

Over December and January I've lost most mobility and am currently largely confined to a bed with breathing problems and pain. And pending some miracle it's very likely this is going to be the case for my remaining time in this world, which is likely to be counted in weeks now.

* The kittens - when I've been able to spend time with them in person, just stroking them has been so soothing. And even when not possible, we have cameras on their den allowing me to still have a break from life's miseries just watching two little brothers cuddle up and play!

Amazingly I'm still using that last pen to this day too. It has lasted very well!

You're more than welcome to pop into the Christies to visit while here!

If you're through Manchester then, it would be great if you could pop by for a few hours. Though admittedly February is looking a dauntingly long time away for me at the moment! :(

It's more of a half-arsed compromise. As they've decided to push back the promised all-electric order for Stockport by about 4 years now, TfGM decided to dump the knackered hybrids back here again in the interim while waiting new diesels. Most were on the 192 originally before they went on to Magic!

At the moment I have no comfortable position in which I can even use the laptop, let alone write anything on it. I'm stuck with the short comments I can do on my phone only!

It possibly doesn't help that, with everyone now being back in work, I can't even have many visitors around here now to distract me. So I've just got all that time to wallow in my thoughts instead.
