Latest on Macfarlane.
After a couple of months lost in the chemical quagmire, Macfarlane has opted to "kick the chemo into touch ". Side effects were extraordinarily debilitating and were giving only marginal clinical advantage. Taking back the reins has given him a boost of energy and will to fight the cancer, not the chemistry. His belief is that by being awake instead of chronically fatigued he can live more fully the time he has left. Given the practical and emotional support of family and friends he just might defy the odds in this intrepid gamble. Early indications are very positive - he has started to sing in the shower again.

Greetings from Groningen in the north of the Netherlands where I have chosen to spend a few days with friends who were my neighbours in Gabon.
The Borders sounds as though it was a success and the colours will be beautiful. Hope other projects will be as successful. Love and prayers and a couple of lit candles.
Glad to hear the border break went well. Thinking of you two and cheering you both on.

feeling left out here!!-not blocked but blogged !! just trying again to make a comment for about the 6TH.time!!-never normally have this problem making myself understood-at least i don't think so!!
Just a bit of info for Ardbeg - did you know that Morag can actually not talk for a few seconds when she`s signing, it really is amazing. Remember she has always used her hands when talking anyway. Think is a tradition with the older Nisbets as both you and Margaret are good at it.
I must add that its really quite impressive.
Can`t believe there house could be so quite.
The great turn out for the event at Murrayfield on 26 November demonstrated the deep affection and respect with which Dougie is held by everyone who knows him - he has no acquaintances - only good friends.
It was great to see so many old faces again and only Macfarlane - to give him his official title- could have done it.
Cowan
PS His old team mates don't remember Dougie singing in the shower - we were too busy keeping out his road!
Hope you get this, this is my 3rd attempt. Thought you might like this little Christmas gem. Mr Simpson the minister related this gem after the Nativity play. It recalls the conversatiion between a wee Prestonpans boy and his mum.
Boy We're getting all about the Christmas story at school.
Mum Oh that's nice, what's it about.
Boy A wee boy
Mum that so, whats he called.
Boy Wayne
Mum Wayne are you sure.
Boy Aye Wayne
Mum What makes you think that,
Boy We're always singing A Wayne
in a Manger.

The story of the wee lad at the nativity brought back embarrassing
memories!
For years I thought Gods first name was 'Harold'!!
Can you imagine the ribbing I got when I mentioned it in my first year R.I. class! Dr.Smith (my R.I.
teacher)was a bit more forgiving and asked "What made you think that?"
"Well, I replied, I've always said that prayer...'Our father in Heaven
Harold be thy name!!'
You will appreciate my need for anonymity!!
