Yes Klyd. 2 daughters and 2 sons. They live down in Nottingham, De Niros neck of the woods, although one of the daughters now lives up here in Newcastle. I think my wife may travel down with her for the funeral.

My other friend whose daughter passed?

It is her funeral tomorrow. Any day is awful for a funeral but New Years Eve has to be right up there as the worst.

P.S. Hope you are bearing up well Klyd? You have had a lot on your plate over Christmas yourself.


I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees!
