Well the football last night was much better, but the reds still failed to win. The 0-0 draw was scant reward for a stirring 2nd half performance. Anyway at least we had enough excitement to get me leaping from my seat on a couple of occasions.

The result’s are back from the scan that Orynthia’s dad had. Afraid to say that it doesn’t look good. Major problems with his back, which will need further investigations. We went to the hospital as soon as we got home tonight, pausing only to pick up Orynthia’s mum on the way. Despite the gloomy news we managed to have a bit of a laugh in the hospital. The way that Don has kept his spirits up is really amazing.
