For Mary

My friend's mother died last night, she was a lovely lady and a real character.

Everything is going wrong at the moment and it all started to get on top of me today. Two of my friends felt the brunt of it all...poor Denise phoned for a chat and got me ranting and then Ellen invited me for a cuppa and got tears and tantrums too. It is a good thing they are excellent friends.

I went to the pub with Jude and Alex tonight for something to eat and then I walked home....I was rained on, I was hailed on, the wind blew my umbrella inside out, the pavement was like a river, I was soaked...sigh
