Living with Molly: Here We Go Again!

🎵 A sky full of stars – Coldplay (https://youtu.be/Fpn1imb9qZg?si=0GK1lJSf25iURxiD)

Just a quick check-in to let you know I’m doing okay and so far I’m feeling a lot better than I did after the last round of chemo!

This second EC chemo has been much kinder to me – I’m not dancing around the house or running marathons yet (as if!), but compared to the last lot, it’s been a lot more manageable. Long may it continue! One more to go now, and I’m keeping everything crossed that too is kinder to me!

Anyway, it was Bonfire Night last week and, controversially, I enjoyed watching the local fireworks display. Controversial as there was the annual Facebook outrage about fireworks frightening dogs and calls to ban the whole thing – and before anyone starts, I do get it, I know some dogs are terrified, and I wouldn’t wish that on any animal – ours is fine but one of the cats is frightened. Surely there’s a sensible middle ground? A bit of consideration, organised displays and sensible timings rather than banning everything that somebody doesn’t like. For me it just takes me back to childhood and all the neighbours gathering together with black peas, jacket spuds, treacle toffee and sparklers. Looking up at the fireworks it was like looking at hundreds of stars ✨ and listening to the kids ‘oohs and ahs’ was cute!

Anyway my head went into chill yer boots mode – life is too short for all this online arguing!

Which brings me nicely to this week’s song choice – I could have gone with the obvious Firework by Katy Perry, but I’ve never really taken to her, and it was made worse by the fact that she married Russell Brand! I’ve never understood how she ever found the arrogant knob attractive. 🫣🤣 So Coldplay bland rather than Brand for this post!

Keep smiling & sparkling 😊 ❤️ ✨
