Last Night Friday, Dec. 19, 2003 Last Night Old Annie�s been suffering with the flu all week. I don�t mean just a bad cold either. She�s had a fever, aches and pains, a headache, been sick several times as well as the usual coughs and sneezes. Thankfully she seems to be getting better now. I was woken up last night at about 1 am to find Old Annie sitting up in bed on the phone to someone. AM was in the room. Apparently AM had been trying on clothes (at 1 am I know, but it�s not unusual in our house), when she decided to go and get a drink and just then the phone rang. It was her father�s wife- they only got married in July. He�d beat her up again and this time she�d got the police involved and he�d been arrested. So it looks like he�s going to do another stretch inside. And she�s going to divorce him. Which is exactly what Old Annie did about 7 years ago when she�d had enough of his beatings. AM was so upset by it she went and stayed the rest of night round her friend�s house. When Old Annie told TBG this morning he didn�t say much, but it must upsetting for him too. At least the kids don�t get to witness this sort of behaviour at first hand anymore. In a lighter vein one of my colleagues became a father for the first time last night. He actually came into to work today to finish of some paperwork and bring some cakes. Where are the cigars? We had a raffle of all the stuff that the management team collect at conferences and trade shows. There were several bottles of booze but I had to make do with a diary.
