Yes, sorry about the English words – not really used in the field of Engineering and, possibly, its unlikely you will ever be in a situation to use them. Anyway, the meaning is in the reply to Gail, above. I should lend you some books. In fact, I’ve just finished one that was really good – The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett – and it’s short so a good place to start. I’ll try and remember it on Monday.

Anyway, stuff the list with priorities. I never do them. The thing to do is just do something!

Well, it wasn’t so complicated. I think I just wrote it that way and not all of it happened in the evening. I saw V earlier, of course, and thing about Dennis, etc, was just an update.

It’s a British word used to describe someone who has effeminate mannerisms. there are degrees, of course.

It is OK for me to visit him, it is complicated for me only if there are his work colleagues there because of things that are, really, too difficult to explain in an answer and really deserve their own post – in time, maybe. Basically, with the exception of one of his colleagues, I just don’t want to be anywhere near them and so, I don’t want to be there if they are there. But V knows this and, normally, they all leave quite quickly. As they did tonight, in fact.

Ah yes, and what happened to V is also to long and complicated to give in an answer. Will try to incorporate it into a post soon. He’s OK, just undergoing tests right now.

Complicated evening I think. Tere seems tobe much to sort out. I imaging thatis the reality of change – sorting, discarding, hanging on to, and so forth.
And may I ask, when you refer to someone “camp” what does that mean? ANd also, may i ask, what happened to “V”. And the following is just my opinion, ok – if you wan to visit “V” at the hospital, you have so earned the right to be there regardless of his colleagues or whomever else may disagree. Some things are just the way it is. After 20 years with someone? There is an “is” to that.

Love you
Gail
peace……
