Alistair The Optimist - Channel 5 - Sept 11
Alistair The Optimist gave an interview today for channel 5- I thought he did brilliantly, he had mentioned on face book that he was more than a little nervous about it -I must say he came across really well-it`s great that people like Alistair are willing to go on television and talk openly
about their illness to help raise awareness of this dreadful disease. Alistair`s album should be out just before Christmas [ message to hubby - please take note ! x ]
Nobody guessed correctly in our travelling bands competition ! Well , not fully anyway -Maura you were the closest [ Linda -you knew but didn`t comment ]
The clues were all in the photographs -A Spanish flag was flying , The artist was Salvador Dali and the location Marbella !

Optimism is good. Very good !
I will also look forward to his album.
Optimism and hope are so important to us all. Good for this fellow!
Gee didn't he give a good interview despite being very nervous about it♥
I was hoping someone would guess from the clues Janet. I had it down as Alameda Park in Marbella:) I love how the bands are travelling around the world:)

Hi Linda- you are bang on ! I have just written to you today xxx
It's best to be optimistic, even when things look grim, there is always hope!
Hi Janet:) I'm guessing it's flying it's way over to Oz as I haven't received an e-snail. Always so lovely to hear from you. Have a lovely weekend♥ Linda xx
It's heartbreaking. Has the research come up with anything promising yet?
What a lovely young man. Great interview and a very important message to send out to the world.
Hi Terry !
Researchers in America have discovered a common cause of all forms of MND ,problems with recycling system in motor neurones appear to be integral to the degeneration found in mnd -put simply-its a protein that when you put out to be recycled - its failed to be collected -it builds up, it`s ok at first -you can manage to carry on-but then it gets to a stage when you can`t and it starts to affect you-it`s a good start, fingers crossed they have another break through soon and a treatment/ cure can be found
Thanks, Janet.
optimism is the only thing They can't take away!
thanks for your comment Janet, I feel so chiffed that we found a use for it- and a friendly tractor driver with a grab to move it across the field!
Hope this is the start of a good week for you

WOOOHOOO....at least I was partly right LOL! I saw the news about the discovery Janet...yes lets hope and pray they discover more about this disease and find a cure soon. Optimistic...it's the only way to be. I hope you're enjoying some beautiful fall weather.
Maura :)
