28th November 2018 - With thoughts for Friends in USA

Thought for the day :"Need an Ark ? I Noah guy !"

Yes it is raining again today - a bleak day...

My thoughts today are with a friend out in America who suffered a car collision, and it would seem through no fault of hers, and has some nasty injuries ... Wishing her a speedy recovery ..
