Not such good news.

Heard yesterday that Chris's mum will have to have a radical mastectomy next week. That's moving pretty quick from a biopsy sample last week. We're wondering how she'll cope at 75, and how her father will be too. Neither are especially nimble these days, and there is a nasty feeling of inevitability about this. Not that we don't care about them, but they're not easy people to get on with.

It's a good incentive (if we needed one) to pray.
