goodness, that's a nice-looking ship, shaney... dates all the way back to 1997, I see, so almost as old as me, and its rigging in better condition than mine. I had planned to go into Lunnun for the river race yesterday but spent much of it transporting jno jnr to a hospital clinic for treatment for a strep throat, as he has not got around to getting himself a GP. It has now been pointed out to him, with some force, that while I did that sort of thing for him at the age of 2, he is now more than 10 times older and might start to look after his own health requirements. Then spent an hour on the phone to a friend who has had a breakdown; poor thing, she was feeling very low and weepy and all I could do was assure her that it will gradually get better... I hope this is actually true, as she has been off work since Christmas and does seem to have quite a way to go.
So I am hoping that biddies are ALL WELL.
