 :) Mrs "H" had the first of the dreaded chemo sessions on Monday , ok the session started 3 hours late but thats Italy for you. Anyway its now Saturday and the only bad side effect was being told she has to give up vino and all booze forthenext 6 months...  Looking positive and the sessions are 21 days apart which means we will not be doing the hospital trip when the grand kids visit.

I even managed to run the track cleaner around the layout this morning, the cantina being a cool 23C is the bestroom in the house.
Anyway we are both sitting outside in the shade. At 32 C the glue on my latest project, the Smart models Castle Heddingham station building, dries as it leaves the bottle.

Some days its just not worth gnawing through the straps.

Glad Mrs H is doing well and not suffering any ill effects of the chemo (apart from the enforced abstinence). We had weather like yours all week, but now the school holidays have started, it's hissing down.
The years have been good to me, it was the weekends that did the damage.

Hi Jerry,
Great to hear Caroline has not suffered too badly at the hands of the chemo, although not being able to drink your lovely wine is a bit cruel :(
Still, at least she can drive you to drink ;)

The latest chemo has Mrs "H" feeling listless and under the weather. This has resulted in her watching (sleeping through)  catch up TV for a few hours in the afternoon (thanks to a Roku box and our new interweb thingy that lets us seem to be in the UK).
This has given a good excuse to get back into the railway room....mistake. I started opening boxes and discovered all sorts of goodies that I had forgotten about. Do you hear that little engine screaming "try me, try me" ?.

So apart from a spot of track cleaning I have had a minitrix German 2-6-2 tank rushing about together vith** a blue German Bo-Bo, where did they come from ???  Then my e-bay bargain (circa 1999) of a Langley Q1 came to life after a drop of oil, Minitrix Scotsman, Mallard, on a rake of new farish Pullmans (NOT BLUE ones) and then I found the old 08, Western and a Warship. I feel like Dr Beeching as I ended preferring the Warship and Hymek orbiting past an unused goods yard with the passing loops out of use and a loco shed full of unused steamers...
To make matters worse I have got 5 more diesel things in the to finish box.

**The "vith" was a typo but seems appropriate!

Sounds like a bit of fun time, Jerry :)
Sorry Caroline's not so chipper but hope things improve very soon :thumbsup:

Chins up both of you.
Let's hope Mrs H feels much better soon.
I'm sure I'll get used to cream first soon.

Doing a much delayed catch-up. Sorry for the tough times you've both been through.

A good friend has recently finished her chemo. It did knock her for six a bit but after a few weeks she's getting back to her old form and now having a glass or two of what really does her good!

Something for Mrs H to look forward to, I very much hope.

Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.
