Janie, I clearly need to apologise to you too for grasping the wrong end of the stick, big time! On reflection though, I think, inadvertently, we have uncovered the potential to do more for the common good. Our thread remains, as is, but it can also serve as a 'hub', a conduit of news & information provided by individuals about their own threads & alerting us to the needs of others, of whose whose plight we may not be aware. ChanteyLass said that she would probably start her own thread if the need arose, but would still post here to let us know. Spaw has let us know about Bugsy. Almost certainly, I would have missed that.
    Positive news from Pete & Wendy; very good to read. Kat, thank you for the link to that wonderful story about Music & Cancer. If you haven't done so already, click on the link & be prepared to be moved & inspired.
    Janie, your post of 13th & Wendy, yours on 14th., in common with others, moved me to tears, but helped me to think & reassess my own situation. Today, the final words belong to Janie: "There is so much listening here."
          With Love,
                         Nigel & Ann.
