no matter how careful you are when you're out and about every day there's always that risk but we can't wrap ourselves in cotton wool, hopefully it will die out and there will be no more deaths, fingers crossed.

But I messed up my foot while trying to install a lamp (long story) and could hardly walk, my toe turned purple and was really swollen. I wasn't sure whether it was sprained or broken so the next day I spontaneously stopped by the clinic in the train station. Half an hour later I'd gotten it checked out, x-rayed and was back on my way to uni. It's only a sprain and I feel stupid for making such a deal out of it but it reminded me how fortunate I am to be able to. It seems like a luxury but it shouldn't be, you know?

Anyway. I hope you don't get sick and that the spread dies out. No more deaths please!

I found the stupidest song ever! Seriously, it reaches new levels of awfulness even if you can't understand the lyrics.



Enjoy. Sorry for hijacking this post.

I'm making an Italian cream cake, "Coconut and pecans are incorporated in a moist white cake topped with cream cheese frosting enhanced with flaky coconut and crunchy pecans."

I'm using walnuts, and I think this is going to be my new favorite dessert.

It sounds delicious, I love anything with walnuts in, I make a totally yummy creamy coleslaw with the usual ingrediants plus chopped apple, mango, peach, pear and a thick layer of walnuts on top, every time I have the family over I have to make two massive bowls of the stuff, they can't get enough!!

And by the way, you didn't hijack the thread, its nice to hear from you, how are you doing now?

Enjoy. And get the treadmill ready!

Apart from the foot, I don't know, it's hard. No one close to me has ever died before and you have this idea of how it is and then when it happens and it's not like you thought, it's hard to deal with. I thought I'd be inconsolable for weeks straight. We had a housewarming party on Wednesday and it was so much fun and I know she wouldn't have wanted me to be unhappy but I feel bad about having forgotten about her, even just for a few hours. The media isn't really helping, our tabloid (we only have one, really) actually printed her full name, picture and death certificate. But then Roman Polanski came along, so..!

I've more or less perfected it over the years by trial and error, usual ingrediants for colesalaw, white and red cabbage, onion, carrots, celery, parsnip, mango, apple, peach, pear and of course, walnuts!! oh and creme fraiche with the addition of some English Mustard for the dressing, try just making a little bit for yourself first and experiment with the additional ingrediants, you can add or subtract to your taste, anything goes with colesalaw as far as I'm concerned!!

Hope your foot is better now.

You musn't beat yourself up if you momentarily forget your friend, its only human and doesn't mean you're forgetting her altogether, you have to carry on after all and I'm sure she would want you to try and relax and enjoy yourself now and again, it will get easier I promise, I know you probably don't think so now but it will, you'll get to a point where you only remember all the good things about your friendship with her, be glad you knew her and had her in your life if only for a short while.

*hugs*
