It was a pretty shitey episode (and period of my life all round), to tell you the truth. But, do you know, albeit life is (oftentimes) shitey, I am devising a motto for myself in the style of Sammy Beckett (<EM>"When you're up to your neck in shit, the only thing to do is to sing"</EM> - can't remember absolutely exact wording of what comes after the comma, but this is pretty close. If anyone else does, incidentally, do tell), the motto being <EM>"Although life is undeniably shite, it can teach you to dance"</EM>. With which, LavvyBee, I mean to say I intend to try and learn to appreciate all I've had of it, before I die.<BR/><BR/>Love to you too. It's nice to see you again.<BR/><BR/>xxAnna MRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801478271766064478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25897493.post-25556292921628732382007-08-18T19:48:00.000+03:002007-08-18T19:48:00.000+03:00That,Anna MR is a terrifyingly good story........A...That,Anna MR is a terrifyingly good story........<BR/>And another hell for you.........I have read it several times now, and still it chills me ......love to you xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25897493.post-19887848403772648372007-08-18T00:20:00.000+03:002007-08-18T00:20:00.000+03:00:o):o)Kahlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500615451909999365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25897493.post-67391786290579855772007-08-17T23:20:00.000+03:002007-08-17T23:20:00.000+03:00A fine story, Merkin.
