Berek's Haway cheer up man, it's Friday.......

I went to the greasy spoon for lunch too 

A fantastic place - this is it




The woman in there is truly incredible

This wonderful cafe is a rare find indeed. A real old-school cafe with fantastic decor and the best in traditional greasy-spoon food. Mushy peas, chips, eggs on toast, shepherds pie, gammon - you can't go wrong really.

Lunchtimes are overseen by the amazing lady behind the counter. Queue in line to place an order, then grab a seat when you can (or get your mates to hold one for you!). When your food's ready, her voice booms out from behind the counter so loud that you wonder where the megaphone is. "Two eggs, chips and beans! Sausage and chips! Special & rice!" It's amazing to see that voice come out of such a small woman and especially surprising when you come to talk to her and find that she's so lovely to boot.

Prices are good, service is good, atmosphere is amazing, food is exactly what you'd expect.

I was yesterday ....down and back in a day. 

I had things I couldn't get out of at work today though so had to be back

[Pirate]

Oh...How's your mum?

[Miss Demeanour]

Yesterday was a bit of an ordeal tbh - she has started chemo - not reacting very well to it  , cancer is fairly widespread and she is reluctant to continue with treatment.  An emotional day as she was insistent on going through what 'arrangements ' she wanted when the time comes plus a whole load of other stuff.

I'm sorry...

I guess we all have to go through it at some time or another...it's just finding the coping mechanisms that work for you ...I'm still trying to do that

[Tipsy Gipsy]

Respect for each other is very important I found.  Your Mum needs to get her arrangements organised so that she can then cope with the illness.  A day at a time for each of you.  Hang in there.

I lost my mum to cancer when I was 24...You never forget, but it does get better in time. Everyone has their own way of dealing with grief, but it's not easy. It helps to have someone to talk to, I dont know, perhaps PT may turn out to be the friend you need at this time

Not a chance 

He doesn't do in depth conversation
