Excellent entry, Tom. So true...
Krissy :)
With your permission could I please use this in my post?
Hope you're doing well. I've had some difficult days lately as I've been told I need a knee replacement. The computer is downstairs and I only come down here every other day or so. Please don't think I've forgotten about you, because I haven't!!
I hope Ben is being a good boy and responding to your emails in a timely manner. I have to remind him to check his email because you send him things. He doesn't usually use that, he uses his facebook to talk to his friends. Let me know if he's being a pain in the bottom!
Great great entry Tom, as usual.
Sue :)
