More Bad News

The very day that the news broke that Malcolm killed himself, The Boy rings from Wisconsin to say that Roxie, his girlfriend of 18 months, has been in a car smash and has been unconscious for 3 days. He has been to see her everyday, and has been staying with her brother. He is hopeful she'll regain consciousness soon (no doubt he has been talking to the doctors). The family are looking after him. I hope these things dont come in threes.
We still went to see the Fabulous Thunderbirds last night. The lead guy has shaved his head and looks a lot better for it. They were pretty good, but I am not sure a 15 minute harmonica solo was strictly necessary. Support were the Wentus Blues Band from Finland who feature Agricultural Blues, whatever that is. They were very friendly and charming so I bought their CD.
Spent today hiking up the Teign Valley in the sunshine. What is this weather they are talking about?

I am so incredibly saddened to read this news.

Please keep all of us updated regarding Roxie and her recovery.

Unconscious for THREE days? That sounds dreadful.

My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family and your lovely son.

All the best,

That's terrible, Hutters... my thoughts are with Roxie and your son. I hope she makes a full and swift recovery.

And yes, we have been so very lucky down here. Not that today is exactly glorious, mind you... *frowns at the rain*
But still. Counting our blessings.
