Friends

At last, two days after the 11th I feel normal again! The tulips were a gift from a friend at work. She gave them to me yesterday when she knew I needed cheering up and I was overwhelmed with her kindness.

A colleague, seeing the tulips gracing my desk in a glass ( I don't keep a vase in the office) suggested I chop the stems a bit more and add a spoonful of sugar to the medicine, oh no wait that's a song, to the water. She said the flowers would stay 'stiff and upright'. This produced a few ribald comments, but wasn't she right! I brought my flowers home and they are on my fireplace, pert and uprright, not a droop in sight!

Thank you Wendy.
