Life really does drop some enormous bombs sometimes and we have had one today.  Nothing life threatening, but enough to cause the family some serious hassle. Sorry if you are reading this and wondering what it is, but some things I cannot share on a blog that is open for all to read.

Luckily I seem to be in a more resilient state of mind and it isn't effecting me too much yet. Sometimes these things have a delayed effect on me and it takes a couple of days but I need to be strong to support my wife through this.  When I am depressed, I find it very difficult to be anything but selfish, but really I must make an effort to look beyond myself, especially over the next few days.

I have had a lovely morning out with a old friend of mine who I used to work with.  He is a great chap and kindly listened to everything I had to say, despite the fact it was all moans and groans.  I say thank you to him and look forward to seeing him in the summer.
