this is alright

I've been off the blip radar for a few days - It's good to be back. I will catch up with all the blips later this evening.
This is a weekend when a friends daughter got thrown from her pony and had to go to hospital. She's OK but cut and bruised. A chap I know went walking for the weekend with the daughters dad and died of a heart attack ( the chap not the dad). Several other minor disasters of one kind or another and I tore a muscle in my leg (incredibly painful ). But planting some trees, listening to a terrible joke from an 8 year old that made me laugh a lot in spite of everything - and this kid and dog on a trampoline helped put things in perspective.
