I had a good doze, well went to bed for an hour. Sleep really.

Heard some sad news today. A casual friend, known off and on for 30+ years, has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. He's 70 and only recently retired.

What hit home for me is whenever I hear someone has dementia, Alzheimer's etc. it's someone's granny, parent etc. This is for real, someone I know, someone I think of as a young person.

A close friend was recently diagnosed with Mantle Cell lymphoma. Very rare, 75 cases pa in the UK.

These things are starting to hit home in my house. It happens to other people, not friends.

Apologies, needed to say this.
Sadly, the older we get the more we are going to hear ot it :sad:.
As I play golf......walking down the fairway we often say......"so long as I am on this side of the grass".
