Tasha’s Friend Dies

Not a nice title I appreciate but in the evening Natasha’s friend Amanda finally died. She’s been suffering from cancer and battling it for over a year and been off work for a couple of months but sadly she succumbed on Saturday night. Tash had gone with Michalina to see Amanda only a week or so ago and it was good she did because it was clear to most people that she’d likely not last until Xmas. That sounds very matter of fact and it’s not meant to be insensitive but she clearly was very ill indeed and didn’t have long

Tash was obviously upset but we had Wayne & Kerry round in the evening so we didn’t discuss it as it would have set her off and she was trying to be strong and not cry, she did that when they left. Very sad indeed and it’s such a terrible, awful disease it really is. Amanda wanted to have her funeral at the College which I think they’ve agreed to so that will be hard for them all to cope with. Such a shame.

Tat actually happened near the end of the night, before then we’d all had a few drinks and sorted out the travelling for the skiing trip so all is in hand and looking good.

Not much of a day other than that, nothing to be excited about!
