daft as a brush

yesterday wife chatted to the lady i told of friends illness at the show at the weekend. Shes a sliglty dotty old lady (70 odd?).. and thro circumstance she finds herself liveing in a caravan in her friends back garden. At week end she tows it to shows and sells odd knick nacks. When i first saw her at weekend she was saying how our friend wasnt all that ill really, till i had to tell her the full extent of her illness. Poor dear was shocked and had to dip into her wine cupbord. Last night she said she dosent think our friend is "long for this world" and suprise suprise she has a "psycic" friend who says similar... lord save us from dotty, upsetting old ladies.

today im waiting in for the call i hope will mean she is comming back to her home and child....
