It can all happen in a few seconds. The screech of tyres, the thump on the bumper, the stain of blood on the road; and there ends 6 years of an otherwise happy (and largely overfed) life.

Very sad about Benji 8-( Wasn’t he the one who put a tennis ball under the dinner table that I was rolling my foot over for 15 mins cause it felt nice and soft? Though it turned to be a rabbits head. He had a good sense of humour did that Benji. Meanwhile Beckham’s been doing well over here. Been teaching Galaxy how to best apply hairspray. The snow just arrived over here in CT, so have been practicing VW handbrake turns in the driveway. Mrs Jeff not happy. Ariff and Safi appreciate the patterns. I can always count on them for support. Saw a small house yesterday that had 5 kitchens in it! Amazing. There was Mr Kitchen, Mrs Kitchen, …..and da 3 kids. boom boom. xxxxx

Oi.I am not a violent and raging student Sally, cant hit the right notes so thumping you was the next best thing. Mind you Adam, Sally is a good singer and a very good voice coach, so, if you want to reach those high notes………just let mummy moose know…we can sort something out.

Chin up honey, love you loads and loads,

Mummy Moose xxxxxxxxx

Hi Adam,

Your fan club is waiting for a word from you. Talk to us oh great one. We want your reflections.

Hi Adam

I’ve been reading your blog for a few months now but have never left a message for you.

You might remember me from teaching your violent and raging mother singing a few years back?

I do enjoy your writing and think you have a gift for it, the song too was inspirational (I have grade 1 guitar and still play one of the pieces when slightly drunk) and I’m very impressed that you’ve been in a private plane!

Anyway, my best wishes to you and your family.

Sally

Hullo. Sorry about Benji. He must have been much loved. Vomiting in Alex’s bed. Haha that must have been a little brother’s dream pet. I’m also very sorry for not blogging before this. No excuse really. I certainly haven’t forgotten about you. Sorry about the world cup too. If it makes you feel any better our football (real football) team has gone from undefeated and number 2 in the nation to 5-3 and unranked. Glad to see your friends are staying in touch too. And I don’t know about you but I count at least nine people blogging so unless that chemos making you grow extra fingers you’ve got more support than you realize (although extra fingers would be pretty cool–think of the chords you could play. On that note I’m loving the music too. Glad to see its not all British. After all we did invent pretty much all of your music). Finally much impressed by the sense of humor. The doctors going from “ers” and “ums” to “oh-shits.” I don’t know how you make cancer funny but keep it up. In exchange I’ll be sure to keep up my blogs. Sorry about this one being so long. Just trying to make up for lost time.

Much Love, Nick.
