I spent about 7 hours round at R&C's tonight. R. & R. Jr had karate so I had a couple of hours chatting with Ch. Considering what I wrote the other day.... things are in a better perspective. It seems odd to say that I can gain a balance from my best mates misfortunes, but she's always been a leveller and she didn't take it badly when I told her ( Read more... )
