Great idea about the umbrella! I hate putting on sticky suncream. I try and wear a sunhat but often forget.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother, I have heard of that disease, it sounds very nasty. I'm glad you're still with us!

My dad died of Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma, which is basically leukaemia but they don't know what type it is and don't have any treatment for it (as opposed to Hodgkin's Lymphoma). They said it wasn't inheritable. I've had poor health for decades with ups and downs, I'll see how I get on.
