A nine year old who saw his father die and his mother disappear has to be in custody for over SIX months?! It's time to stop using 'boat people', 'asylum seekers' and 'refugees' as nouns.... Rant over for now.<br /><br />Thanks Have Myelin. I think I rediscovered Elvis thanks to watching 'Lilo and Stitch' a few dozen times when Sapphire was younger.Kath Locketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677312773827236567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-51800822024098299972011-02-17T16:28:20.654+01:002011-02-17T16:28:20.654+01:00Hope Jill recovers quickly!

With an attitude like that your friend Jill will recover no doubt to ride again. <br /><br />By the way, I joined up for the asylum seeker request to free 8 year old Seema from detention.

Katherine is the most generous, funny, loyal, never-boring, soft (of skin), gorgeous person you could meet.<br /><br />And, yes I will be getting back out there, I can't wait. Patrick and I intend to ride the last 15km of the 'race' together when we are all healed - we are hoping for a group of people to do it with us (and no accidents this time). How lucky I am to have survived this crash so well, but more to have the great friends I do (no one more so than Katherine). xxx JJillynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-48017125301670125272011-02-17T01:16:25.782+01:002011-02-17T01:16:25.782+01:00I thought your running addiction (bra attacks and ...I thought your running addiction (bra attacks and torturing your tendons) was crazy enbough, but road-cycling is definately up there for me as "not in this lifetime!).

He required a new nose. Unpleasant. <br /><br />Of course even Mark Webber's worst injury (I think) was a broken leg from a pushy accident. And this from the only man to have vertically flipped two cars (on separate occasions, and, ha!, bet he could never do it on purpose)!<br /><br />So, tell your dear friend she's in adventurous company. Oh, and perhaps she'd be safer with motorsports.eleanor bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11642298362764360355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-52821129005060139272011-02-16T03:38:59.516+01:002011-02-16T03:38:59.516+01:00Poor Jillery - thank goodness it wasn't a heck...Poor Jillery - thank goodness it wasn't a heck of a lot worse.Chestnut Marenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-26477362020963709112011-02-15T22:07:09.315+01:002011-02-15T22:07:09.315+01:00They are, Vanessa.
