Done that already!

Should really get around to volume 2.

Yeah, I'm sure it will. I know Tania's run out of cash already which, knowing her "friends," will make her less attractive.

I'm just too old for this teenage angst stuff, I did it myself (didn't we all?), went through it with my son and really can't be arsed with it now!

I've long since stopped getting (too) stressed, but this time I reckon Madam and I need a few days away, just to chill and relax. August is looking promising to have a month of thumb-up-bum, brain-in-neutral type stuff.

Let's see how work behaves.

Blimey George , sounds like a madhouse there. Sorry to hear of your losses but i doubt online funerals were any wierder than actually attending in person. We had two through lockdown , one recently under the slightly relaxed regs... still very odd experiences though!!

Funerals I can do, even funerals with four mourners, funerals online are just, well, strange!

The one advantage was that I could raise a glass at the appropriate time, rather than having to wait until later!

A person more concerned about others well being you will never meet. I guess we won’t be meeting for a sneaky beer in Manila airport at 3am again 🙁 Heartfelt condolences
