On Sunday evening our dog Toby had a bad bout of coughing lasting around 10 minutes and my wife and I were getting a bit anxious that we might once again have to pay a visit to the vet. I decided to go for a walk with him in the cool evening air thinking that might stop the coughing, which I’m pleased to say did.
Around 1am in the morning another attack, both my wife and me were wide-awake. Bathrobes on and onto the patio with him, luckily out side it was not below freezing, 10 minutes and the coughing had stopped, back to bed for us all.
Half past three the same procedure as last time only this time I let my wife stay in bed, no use both of us losing sleep. After the coughing had stopped, I decided to stay up with him and let my wife sleep on. Not the least to say I was shattered the next day.
The photo is of our garden bench were I sat with our dog in the night.
On Monday afternoon we visited our next-door neighbour in hospital. She is a young woman of 37 and has cancer of the lungs. It is her second operation, the first being in August 2006 and the second one was last week. The cancer had broken out again and this time the doctors could not help in any way being that the cancer as penetrated the main arteries. While we were visiting thoughts were on my mind of my older sister who died of cancer last year.
At the moment it's blowing a gale here.
Take care out there were ever you are Tschüss

I have been thinking of Lilian especially now as we approach the anniversary of her death.
