The Worst Thing Today

Sorry to hear that Carine. A friend's neighbour, 23, has just been murdered while out on the town - kicked in the head by drunk thugs. It's just horrible. Own son of 23 has a second interview to join the police next month and it just sets me on tenterhooks. Hope the lad makes a full recover.

Oh that is awful - it's hard to even fathom how human beings can behave like this.

Thats terrible! It makes my bad back seem nothing. (Weeding the garden has a lot to answer for.)

Diamondlil, EC, Sweetpotatoboy, Pat : I know, isn't it a terrible world sometimes !
Apparently they wanted to steal to boy's car because the one they had stolen earlier broke down !!! He seems to be recovering well but for the mental side of it he will get help from a victim support organisation.

It's Saint Swithin's day and here in Cornwall it's raining cats and dogs! Forty more days of this??

Similar here on the outskirts of London, been raining on and off all day. They said on GMTV that whilst the 40 days etc might be stretching it a bit, the forecast for the next couple of weeks or so wasn't good

Ken, I'd still rather be in Cornwall...
If I promise to bring the weather with me, can I come??
I've been pricing flights to London today; the worst thing is I can't afford any, and I still don't have my copy of Cleopatra's Daughter.

Hi Chatterbox!

Rain stopped and It was a glorious afternoon! Played 4 under my handicap of 18 at Truro golf club and enjoyed a pint with my friends. Not really a 'worst thing today' as it turns out then! St. Swithins day my ...........!

Got the wrong medication. Luckily I've been on it before so I knew not to take the dosage listed. Both the pharmacy and Dr's office claim the other one is to blame.

EC, that is dreadful. It continues to astound me how some people are able to completely insulate themselves from the damage -- physical and/or emotional -- that they cause to others. Sociopaths? I dunno. But kudos to your son for signing up for the forces of order. That is an increasingly grueling profession, and it will take its own toll, I'm sure. It's hard to hang on to one's ideals in this world, but without them, we become part of the evil.
