Friends

Number two son, Thomas is home this weekend. That is, he is sleeping in the house (well, he didn't last night, but I'm assured he will tonight), but hasn't taken any meals with us yet.

However, his washing has been done and he is currently out with his friends and having met them yesterday, they seem like a jolly nice bunch, so I assume life is good for him.

Today we enjoyed a surprise visit from two of our longest standing friends and I'd forgotten what a delight old friends can be. They are grappling with the same issues as we are and it is comforting to note that people I have the greatest respect for tackle the issues in the same way that we have. There is much common sense in the world, even if it does not get much media coverage.
