    That's nice Spud.
    I was in church tonight doing sidesman duty - handing out hymn books etc. Some of you may remember me posting about a friend with leukaemia who had to chose between doing nothing, aggressive chemo or palliative chemo? She is actually the wife of 1 of our volunteer ministers - late 70's.
    He was in church before her tonight - meeting and greeting. Someone picked her up and when she walked through the door his face just lit up. I nearly fell apart!
    Sorry - very random.

    not random - just a little love story... it's brill!

    I think a bit like that about my ex Snags. I don't know exactly why it didn't work but I do believe he was possibly the first decent guy I have dated. There were some wonderful moments. but in the end he didn't love me. I am glad he was there.

    Nevertheless she persisted.

    That's so lovely - amazing if you can meet that one person you're supposed to spend your life with, and you still feel happy to see them no matter how long you've been together.

    as long as they're in the right order.... if you laugh in the middle of your afternoon delight, it could give off the wrong signals!!!

    or if you yawn........

    or wake up.........

    or turn the page of your book.........
