There but for the grace of god
Had a fabulous Aussie Day yesterday - swimming pool, bbq, lamb and pavlova. Returned hom ein the evening to get a couple of messages - a very good friend in the UK passed away suddenly at 42 and my sister got attacked on a train in Paris. Badly beaten and had her bag and laptop stolen.
Has put a few of my own problems into perspective.

When people pass away suddenly it really makes you realise how precious life is and you have to make the most of it while you can.
