    I've cleared the piles in the bedroom.

    Well not really.

    At the dress rehearsal last night I discovered a friend has a lump and it looks like the reappearance of her cancer. Not sure of the full details, but she has pulled out of the show (obviously) and because she is so young (mid 30's) she is panicking terribly.

    I feel so ineffective and useless at these times.

    So I've been pottering around in a fairly pathetic way this evening. Sat in the garden and thought for a while, cooked something for next week and tidied up a few bits :o

    Popeye has sent a text and is currently in the air on his way home. He will forgive me the mess and unravel my turbulent thoughts. :o I'm glad I've got him :o
  • Awww sounds nice *sigh* has he any room for Mr.B in SA?

    Edit to say should have read the whole post, sorry about your friend.

    Hi Olive

    You're bound to get taken aback at times like these. I'm glad you've got Popeye coming back, you need him at the mo. Amazing things are happening with cancer treatments at the mo..... all the best to your friend.

    We've only been married for 5 mins Bob, and maybe the success of our marriage and keeping romance alive is down to those three small words:

    six thousand miles :D

    You're right, funny thing for a formerly aggressively-single woman to admit :o

    (that's me, not meaning to imply it was you :o )
