This weekend we're in Glasgow as tonight it is the 40th birthday celebration of Mr R, a friend of Mr Man's from work who exchanged high flying city life for a part in the family business last year. So far our trip has been rather pleasant. It's surprisingly sunny and warm which is a bit of a shame on one hand as when I looked on the BBC weather before we left I was assured it would be 12 degrees and drizzly and so packed accordingly, but obviously a very nice surprise on the other.
We did get off to a wobbly start though at Glasgow airport where as we were getting into the taxi, Mr Man realised he had left his iPad on the plane. Oh dear. A brisk hike back to now deserted terminal and some flouting of the no re-entry rules back towards the baggage carousels combined with an angel of an air hostess, lead to a miracle occurrence and he got it back. Mr Grumpy averted. Phew....
There are two sides to every story and there are at least two ways to look at every problem. I have recently won the bad luck lottery, and have chosen to use the power of positive thinking, and a lot of mental toughness to turn what is quite a blow to my overall life plan, into something brilliant. I'm not sure yet how I am going to do this, but I know that I will. Wish me luck!
About Me

- To me the glass is always at least half full. This was not always the case but over the past few years I have started to learn just how brilliant the human mind and body are. In September 2011 at the age of 34 and after 4 months of extensive medical invasion and severe abdominal pain, I was diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma Cervical Cancer. I have too much on my to do list to be thwarted by such a cowardly disease, so I am using positive thinking and all my mental and physical toughness to win, as I really don't like losing. During the long and painful diagnosis phase, many friends said that they didn't know how I could be so calm and strong. To be honest, looking back neither do I, but I am starting this blog to capture my feats of positivity whilst I beat this pesky disease.
