Last Night I Dreamed About Marcia MacDonald
Marcia MacDonald was a childhood playmate. We were good friends in the days of our youth. She lived a few houses away, just around the corner. One of our favorite activities was roller skating. Otherwise we just “hung around”.

MarySmith’sPlace ~ #CancerDiary#45 #FinishingLineinSight
A brave acceptance of terminal cancer.
Well, I’m on the home stretch now; the finishing line very much in sight.
Nothing is quite as expected, though. From early on I had made my wish to die at home be known but here I am in a bed in the Alexandra Unit, which provides palliative care and is the nearest thing we have in Dumfries & Galloway region to hospice provision.
Anyway, the change of plans was my choice. At home, although they would take every possible care to have the drugs I would need when the pain became more severe, I wasn’t going to have someone 24/7 with the key to the locked cabinet. I didn’t want to behave all undignified if I couldn’t get my drugs!
I was mentally preparing some funny stories to share with you (like the woman who wanted a cleaning job but not when she was a bit busy near Christmas)…

Plum pudding – 1 year old
How I wish we had some Christmas pudding. I love it- especially the ones my husband used to make.
This is from the same Christmas pudding recipe that I posted 4 years ago. On why it’s called plum pudding when there’s no plum–I don’t know.
Last year we made two, but we didn’t get to eat the other one. Someone told me it could also be served during Easter–now I know! At least we’re spared the effort this last quarter, only I don’t get to “stir and make a wish” this year.
This is the sound our pudding makes while steaming, and below is how it looks like when lit! Be careful! And go easy with the double creme. 🙂

15th December (’21): Zamenhof Day
Zamenhof Day (Esperanto: Zamenhofa Tago, Polish: Dzień Zamenhofa), also called Esperanto Book Day, is celebrated on 15 December, the birthday of Esperanto creator L. L. Zamenhof.It is the most widely celebrated day in Esperanto culture. On this day, Esperantists hold information sessions and cultural gatherings to promote literature in Esperanto.
The history of celebrating Esperanto on Zamenhof’s birthday can be traced back to 17 December 1878, when at a birthday party for his 19th birthday he presented to his friends his Lingwe uniwersala, the first version of his international language. By 1887, this language had evolved into what is now recognized as Esperanto when he published the Unua Libro. 15 December previously used to be also known as Esperanto Day,but that is now celebrated on 26 July, the day Unua Libro was published.
15 December 2009 marked 150 years since Zamenhof’s…
