John, Great news about your PSA. Long may it continue. I've just had my 3 monthly check, hopefully I'll get the results tomorrow.

Phil, you're a grafter mate. I'm just sat on the bench in the corner of the garden having a cuppa. I try not to have a beer until midday.😁

The Robin chick's have fledged, so I trimmed the hedge they were nesting in. Although I say it myself the garden"s looking fab.

Enjoy your cuppa Adrian. I do also like to sit in the garden with a cuppa ( or a glass of wine) … ! I’m just not good sitting around much. Plus I’ve always got my jobs list.

Done one wall, the one he’s plastering and the tiles come off pretty easy so going do all round now.

Once I’ve done that I’ve got a remote wireless light switch to put up in the summerhouse so we can switch the outside lights on without traipsing up there.

No peace for the wicked 🤪. I must’ve been pretty wicked. Funnily enough one of my girlfriends at school told me I was too nice once 🤷‍♂️🤔 I seem to recall thinking you really don’t know me 🤣

Lots of girls used to say that to me. It was a polite way of saying "You're OK, but you've got no chance of getting your leg over"

🤣🤣 I was in the 4th year and she was in the 5th year and hot so I just counted myself lucky … 😉

Seeing a low PSA result is always welcome news and worth celebrating.

As for birds.. I just checked the nestbox camera and it looks like we've got at least eight eggs, which is about average for bluetits.

Hey Phil, your ex girlfriend lost out on a DIY God, I bet she rues the day she said you were too nice 👌🏼

I too have to play with lighting, my mums outside security light stopped working and it's not the bulb, if I can't fix it I'll have to fit a new one and hope the holes line up.

Cheers

Kev.

I think that was the last thing on her mind, it definitely wasn’t on mine 🤦‍♀️😳…

Off to do the light switch now as I got all the silly skirting tiles off. Hopefully it’ll be easy.

My outside lights worked forever in our old house and seem to be ok here. But over at my MiLs she seems to put the Hex on them 🤷‍♂️…

Ok so light switch on and all works . 3 gang 1 way , and looks cool is glass .
But nowhere on the box or instructions does it say what battery the remote needs. So onto Google and it’s a weird size I haven’t got so onto Amazon for delivery tomorrow. So I can’t show off to the missus now when she gets in …

For me, summer is officially here. ☀️

I'm frightening the neighbours, and putting on my shorts! 😱

The fridge is packed with beers. 🍻

It is definitely warmer now although my shorts are still sitting comfortably in my drawer.
Garage Fridge is packed with beer (Spitfire and Moretti) and Prosecco always. Unfortunately run out of white wine hence the Booze Run in a few weeks.
Sat in summerhouse till 7.30 last night and had too many strong G&Ts. 🤪

Good lad Phil, that's the spirit!

I wanted to keep some chickens in the back garden but the wife wasn't in favour.

To defy her I'll have a few Old Speckled Hen.

My missus would have chickens if we had a big enough garden… luckily we don’t.

Old Speckled Hen , another cracking Ale 👍.

Another poor nights kip, just keep tossing and turning. After getting my great PSA result today, I thought I'd sleep like a log; but I'm afraid that was very much offset by Phil's bad news.

I hate this disease, it's so unfair.

Morning Adrian. So sorry my news upset you last night 😢. Especially when you should be celebrating your good PSA result. Brought a tear to my eye.

I’ve got my Degarelix injection shortly and badminton later. I know some one will ask how I got on and I’ll have to tell them … 🤷‍♂️Maybe I should take biscuits for tea break 🤔

Not sure why they stopped the Abi but not the Degarelix. Wish they changed the steroid back to Prednisone yesterday as well, the Dexamethasone is blowing me up like a balloon. Imagine Michelin man prancing round the Badders court. 😁

I fitted a snazzy remote light switch in the summerhouse and I couldn’t stop playing with it. Like a kid with a new toy. 🤣 Bet the neighbours wondered what was going on.

If I make it to the Virtual Pub mines a double scotch 😁.

So Adrian I’m telling you to have a good day today 🤪. No worrying about other people , sometimes you gotta concentrate on yourself. You can’t save someone if you’re drowning yourself.

Take care

Phil

Yesterday, just emphasised the up and downs of this disease. Someone gets good news, someone gets bad news. I just wish, especially after the past few weeks, when I've got to know you, that we could have both got good news.

Maybe it's why there hasn't been a chat area before?

Here, you actually get to know the people. How the disease impacts them and their loved ones. Rather than just knowing their cancer staging, PSA levels and treatment plans.

Honest mate, if I'd lived nearer, I'd have dragged you out for a real pint last night.

I've often been accused of being too caring, but I'd rather be that way, than not caring enough. I will heed your advice though, and tilt the balance a little.

I have to say, the thought of Adrian in shorts slumped on his garden bench after a few speckled hens gave me a poor night's sleep too.

I'm surprised you didn't attract the attention of the emergency services flashing your light on and off last night.

I fixed my mum's security light. After checking the wiring and testing with a multi meter. I took it down and wired up a plug to bench test it. That's when I realised the halogen bulb wasn't seated properly. Wish I could blame someone else but I changed the bulb the other day.

Still, it kept me busy for an hour or so. 🤣

Cheers,

Kev.

😁 It got worse Kev, I went topless!

It was only when, the wife shouted from the kitchen, "Marie (her mobile hairdresser) has seen enough!" That I sprang to life and covered up.
