Evening denizens

Home again

I appear to come from a family of wrecks

My Mum is probably going to be in hospital over the weekend - she's comfortable, but they haven't got her as well stabilised as they'd like

My brother had to go to hospital with severe chest pains last night

(They said it wasn't a heart attack, though our Mum used to be a cardiographer and reckons you wouldn't be able to tell for certain so soon.)

And my brother-in-law is going into hospital next week to have a presumed-benign lump removed from his arm

My sympathies, Nick...

Your family seems to have more than its fair share of troubles at the moment...

Indeed... "falling apart at the seams" is the technical term

I just hope I'm not next on Fate's list

I remember how a few years ago one of my oldest friends - from student days, in fact - expressed her astonishment that despite everything I'd subjected my corporeal presence to, I was still in the rudest of health.

I admitted that it was surprising, and conjectured that I must have the constitution of an ox.

She appraised me for a second or so, then declared "No, you've got the constitution of a brick. Everything just bounces off you."

Here's hoping it carries on that way
