Friends in distress

Some of my friends, mainly Pippa, Pam and Alice, have all blogged that a friend of theirs, a lad called Michael Blakey was murdered in Dharmasala while working for the Tong-Len charity. I probably met him in Swansea but I'm afraid I can't remember him much. I do know that his death has been very hard on my friends. Not much I can say except that my thoughts and prayers are with them all.

On a somewhat different note, I was in Aberdeen yesterday finding out what they do. We may have to cover them at some point, so I have to learn to do civilian forecasting - much the same but with different change criteria. Ho hum. Then when I got back to the mess I had a quiet drink, which turned into a series of load drinks. Great time.
