Nous sommes le dimanche quatre fevrier

Better news today, Malc with the proviso to do nothing and take his painkillers got  a week end pass. He has come home as there were no tests this week end and I have to get him back early tomorrow morning. He cannot walk about without being breathless so sitting watching the birds is a relaxing past time.
We do not want to talk about his health situation until we have the results of all the tests. We know it is not his heart and on Wednesday he will be put to sleep whilst they take biopsies from some masses.
It could be a long haul but Malc, Sam our daughter and I are up for the challenges ahead.
Some lovely messages from our lads offering prayers and help. The most amazing one from Sohail from the other side of France offering his blood. Thanks Sohail it is a lovely thought.
Thanks to all those helping and offering help, at the moment the problem is the dogs. Sarah Brown had a nightmare of an early evening when she came to feed the dogs to find they had escaped from the courtyard and spent a couple of hours driving round the countryside till she eventually found them on their way home, filthy and tired... and that was also Sarah as she manhandled them into their car.
Margaret thanks for your help and Jo as well.
If I have not replied to your messages it is because there are so many and I am too busy spending time on anything but looking after Malc. 
Love to you all.
