Little Car has died. Was she a ‘four’ do you think, dramatic timing and all?
On a brighter note, lots of gold stars to award:
to Pauline & Graham, for rescuing me and driving the hills to deliver pew sheets.
to Alison & Margaret, for stepping up and leading the service on almost no notice.
to Maureen, for being right, and for never pausing in your concern for others even when all reason says you should.
wonderful exchange 
Oh ‘eck!
Oh dear! What a week for it!
Oh dear – any chance of some intensive care; transplants to last you until you move?
oh how sweet. when I came to read your comments, I found that wordpress is offering its own memorial by suggesting you go to the possibly related post: ‘Little Car’s big day out’.
(and to Stewart’s question, a resounding ‘no’)
I’m sorry! What a time for this…
Have you done the commendation yet?
