To our lovely Forum family.  Rals cancer has grown in the last 2 months and hasn’t responded to the drugs which they were hoping would slowdown the growth. All treatment and tests have ceased and he has been assessed for Hospice care.  This is a Palliative care program unique to Ballarat. The aim is to keep patients in their own hope for as long as possible. The service is 24 hours and equipment supplied as necessary. All is free and 80% government funded. We are very fortunate to be in Ballarat to be able to use this service and to have so many family and friends looking after us. Ral is amazing and fully aware of all that is going on. He is not in any pain, although they seem to think this will happen.  That is about all for now.

He is Judy. His Dad bought the car new in 1930. Sadly neither of his sons are at all interested in it’s history or anything.

We had our monthly coffee morning with car club members. We were to pick up our new Model A but the gentleman we are buying it from wanted to try and drive it one last time. The poor darling couldn't. He, with DH to guide and help tried many times to get into the driving seat, but he couldn't. It was so sad to watch. We have paid for it and the licensing and insurance are all done in our name. He hopes to be able to part with it on one of the next two weekends. I think he wants his daughter to be there to support him.
