[QUOTE="jay hay-char, post: 1396886, member: 116810"] A couple of old (as in long-term; they're a bit younger than me :eek:) and very dear friends are driving up from Devon this morning to meet up with us. We're all then driving over to have lunch with two long-term mutual friends, one of whom is not at all well, but it should still be nice. I've mentioned the guy before - he's the one who was badly handicapped by a benign brain tumour a few years back and is now very (probably terminally) ill with oesophageal cancer. Not very positive, I suppose, but I try to regard the times that we see him as a celebration of our 40 years of friendship, and days that I will look back on in future as a reminder of the great times we had (many of them, it must be admitted, in pubs and bars ;)). He's been having radiotherapy recently, in the hope that it will give him a bit more time, for he and his wife to spend some time in the sun, on a Med cruise, but consequently he's feeling a bit rubbish at the moment. Nevertheless, I cherish all of these times together. Later on, we will all watch Saints (probably) get beaten by Man U on the telly in the League Cup Final. On a positive note, in the meantime, we're going to Wember-lee :D [/QUOTE]
