Troubled day

Woke up to the news about the earthquake in New Zealand. Checked out McCaffreys in NZ, Cabbagetree and friends on facebook. Saw the pictures of the devastation and of events in the Middle East on breakfast news. Spent the first part of the morning thinking about all in NZ and Lybia. Learned later in the morning of the sudden and tragic death of a colleague here in Glasgow and then heard about a colleague in Australia whose brain tumour has returned. I've had better days.
