    Thank you.

    I keep thinking I'm going to wake up soon and it's all been a bad dream :(

    I found this for another thread but it seems appropriate for today and how I feel about - well - everything.

    Was out having a coffee with a couple of chums.

    Still not feeling too clever if truth be told.

    I hope the natter with friends was a bit of a distraction, as I know however much we want to be with them, the sheer effort of getting there and back, hope you had a restful rest of day x
