Cool Dude

 

We have good news. Let me first introduce Mr GBT by his proper name...he's called David and he's been my lovely other half for almost 35 years. Firstly the tumour has been completely removed and it hasn't  spread either in its original site and the CT scan has shown that there isn't any elsewhere. He now will have a follow-up procedure and some specially targeted doses of chemo. They are going to hit it hard this year so that the little b*gger hopefully doesn't put in another appearance and then six monthly lots for the two years after that. It was an aggressive form which doesn't show itself until much later, but the universe was on our side and two chance things came together and it was discovered purely by chance when they were investigating another issue. I've always held my Pagan beliefs dear, but this has cemented them and they've been tested like never before.

Speaking of magic and how I seem to stumble across quirky things on a very regular basis, this rather natty little mobility scooter tootled past me and then drew up round the corner on Monday. The minute I clocked the 'Cool Dude' on the back I couldn't resist having a quick word with the vintage driver. He made me laugh and when he explained why he's got it and how it's given him back his independence following a life changing accident last year he most definitely lives up to his moniker. He very kindly let me take a photo of it.
