Friday, JustGiving and a few pages glued together

1. Friday is always an exciting prospect. I got up this morning hoping some of the rotten things that have happened over the last few days had been a bad dream. I looked to see if things had changed but they had not. All the usual stuff happened. Bacon sandwiches, discussions about the forthcoming weekend, speculation about Big Brother evictions and discussion about colleagues and work pals. I can trust Fridays to be the last of the week's effort. I have the prospect of some exciting moments for this weekend and especially to see and spend some moments with my good friend, Laughing Man. What was once a kindness now seems like an unkindness. I miss something, made up of that that big empty unreasonable space that I find impossible to fill.

2. Lawrence Lennon is a person who works at City of York Council. This boy is doing a sponsored parachute jump for Marie Curie Cancer Care. I don't very often get drawn to requests for sponsorship from people I don't know. I don't know this lad, but he seems to be brave, and that's inspiration for me. I'd encourage my friends and family to give him support in his adventurous quest. You can donate to his fundraising web page an keep up -to-date with him on line. Go to JustGiving and donate a sum of any value now. His jump is on September 13 at Bridlington. Good luck. Just do it!

3. We all have a few pages glued together. Sometimes I wish that wasn't as true as it turns out it is. My book is full of words but they don't all make sense. I read whole paragraphs which really don't seem to have any sense and lack confidence and fairness. Doesn't seem to be any way to make it better. I wish there was.
