Hello, everyone! I’m a bit tempted to kill two birds with one stone (or two words with one song!) by going for Roger Whittaker’s The First Hello, the Last Goodbye, but I think I’ll suggest that for ‘first’ and for ‘last’ I’ll go for Michael Ball’s Last Night of the World, which I think has been sung by lots of other people as well.

Oh, lovely - thank you, Erica! 
Now I’m sitting here listening to Roger Whittaker and getting all misty for my childhood! When he died I downloaded some of his music onto my phone, as I had only had cassettes and CDs of his before and it’s so much easier these days to have music on the phone.

Do I get to frivolously choose music again this week?!
So just a reminder it’s the LLS Virtual National Blood Cancer Conference tomorrow, Saturday September 14, in case you might like to register and tune in.
Relatedly, I think my words today will be BLOOD and TALK.

Hi, @Duncan! ‘See’ you tonight at the LLS virtual conference!
In the meantime, your choice of words has given me the opportunity to suggest a Mika double bill, so thank you for that! 
For ‘blood’, I am going for ‘Heroes’. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebEAXiGoriU
And for ‘talk’ my suggestion is ‘Talk about you’. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH30OyVXuK0
As an aside, I’m not going to own up to just how long I was singing ‘Put your bird on me and my bird on you…’ before I saw the lyrics in print and discovered that it was ‘blood’ and not ‘bird’! No wonder it never made sense! That said, I defy anyone to listen to the chorus and distinguish between blood 
and bird

Hi everybody. Thought I’d add the words tonight ready for you in the morning.
This week has been quite emotional. We moved our daughter to Leeds for uni on Wednesday and it was my yearly check up today. I feel exhausted
However, Ella is happy and settled and check up was good. My emotions have been all over the place so my words are:
- Rollercoaster - often how we hear feelings and emotions described on the forum and definitely true for me this week
- Grateful - my consultant looked exhausted and said how short staffed they were but he still took so much time with. Really felt for him today!
For rollercoaster I have ….
had a.bad day - Google Search
And for grateful ….

Hi @Nichola75 you are a late bird that has had quite an emotional week.
I cannot believe your daughter has gone to Leeds.
As for your yearly check up, it never gets easier does it.
Wow, I cannot imagine how you are feeling, thank goodness for mobiles and ‘zoom’ (other platforms are available)
You must be completely drained emotionally, physically and practically.
Thanks for the very appropriate words and I like them early so I can go round the flat humming my many potential choices,.
Be very kind to yourself and spoil yourselves this weekend.

Wow @Nichola75 what a double-whammy of big emotive events! Well done for getting your daughter off to university, and in lovely Leeds too. Give yourself a pat on the back, I’d say! I bet your checkup brought up all sorts too, no wonder you’re exhausted.
Now time for a treat for you
