Loosing a good friend
To loose a friend is bad enough, but to loose a good one is far worse. We had been buddies for about eleven years meeting most days at some time. There was never any evidence that anything was wrong, it all came so sudden one morning. The wife was very upset as it was she who had introduced us all those years ago. There was much discussion as to what may have caused a sudden departure but to no avail.
Then as is always the case of the final goodbye, not easy to do some times but it had to be done.
So I did the right thing and dumped my now dead electric shaver in the recyle bin.


Happy daze John in Oz.
