HAPPY BIRTHDAY [livejournal.com profile] gehayi !!!!  A talented writer, a fierce activist, a hilarious sporker and a great friend.  I hope you have a good day - how could you NOT with "Blink" to watch?

This Hornblower Auction is very exciting and I'd like one of those coats, BUT - this probably means they definitely aren't making any more, and that upsets me a LOT.

I'd like Lot 14 please.

Thoughtful posts of reflection and sharing from [livejournal.com profile] musesfool and  from [livejournal.com profile] junediamanti - go and share.  I will never forget the impact of September 11th, the day is emblazoned on my mind and will be forever.  In a quiet and sleepy part of Norwich England I sat and watched it online as it unfolded, and we all stayed on after work ended because one of the secretaries had a son on a plane who she couldn't contact. It turned out he was fine, but it really brought it home to us.  I realise now that it affected so many people for so many reasons.  They had travelled to NY - like me, they had stood on the top of the twin towers and had taken pictures, they had friends on holiday there, they had friends and family who lived there. There are few people I know who were unaffected in some way.  Yes, there have been other tragedies, other terrorist horrors, and I'm not putting this at the top of the list, but I doubt that many Global Friends remember the Omagh or Enniskillen or Oxford Street bombings in the same way as the Twin Towers.

As [livejournal.com profile] musesfool says - and as I have said for different reasons. Ring your family and tell them you love them. Don't ever be in the position to say "I wish I had..."
