    3. will update all tomorrow - assuming i am still on this planet by the evening I here venus is nice at this time of year
    4. my life is a joke just remember we are laughing (and crying) with you not at you
    5. its ok - i can cope - only just hanging on so don't forget some crampons for extra grip - otherwise known as a small glass of wine
    6. fate is cruel but luck is gorgeous and she is just around the corner
    7. we havent reached ground zero yet - nearly there im guessing... ground zero doesn't necessarily have to have a hard surface, it could be spongy so that you can bounce back...

    I know you wrote this when you were really stressed, ok, but I hope my little attempt at irony, will make you smile a very little bit.
