Yeah, it's tough. I don't have a vacation myself, more a vocation,
whether I want it or not, it's sort of stuck on my shoulders. This
young lass from my Brummagem e-mailed me the other day, she said I was
the 'triumph of the human' : well, clever old me, I do have my uses
after all.
Hope there will be a healing.
Best
Dave
