T.G.i Friday.

Today was spent running (well, stumbling) around doing things. Getting organised.

Seeing my mum off who is going to Lusanne in Switzerland. Where there is a HUGE competition on that has been going for decades and is very prestigious. Particularly for Classical Ballet Dancers.
Last year a boy that was trained in Classical Ballet by my mum and her sister whom run an independent (reputable) Ballet school here, won it.
It would be the 2nd student of theirs to win it.
This year they have another student going in it and she is needless to say very good.
I wish her all the very best.

Tomorrow my best friend is coming home, he works in the Merchant Navy.
I have known him and his family since 1986. Poor people.
My friend and I have been in several threatening situations, which bring you closer, through a common bond.
(it's a male thing).
We have been each others family through good times and bad.

I moved in to his house before I became ill, through all this he has helped me with driving, my children, shopping, laughing, cooking, cleaning, washing and he has picked when I have fallen. etc.

He has done what must be so hard for him, seeing one of his best mates who was really independent and strong become really ill and vulnerable.

I am in a debt I cannot possibly repay.

But it has consolidated our friendship.

Which no amount of money can buy.
