My Dear Cyber Friends,
I am very low at the moment. Please support me. The Dowager has been unwell and I had to get an ambulance to take her to hospital on Sunday morning at 4am. I've so many people and doctors to contact that I 'm finding it difficult. Please send your support, if you care. There are tears on this keyboard. But, rest assured, I will persevere.

So sorry to hear of your troubles but try not tot let it get you too deprested keep us updated.

Heartfelt thanks.
Tim
Very sorry to hear of The Dowager's ill health. I'm sure she will battle through. You're both in our thoughts.
Don't worry about the blog, we can survive. Or maybe you can find some solace in your writing. I know how difficult these situations are. Just be there for her as much as you can.
As an East Belfast man, who works in a studio above the Strand cinema, used to say " it will pass".
I hope everything works out OK.
Oh My God Tim, I hope and pray you have some good news as soon as humanly possible. Rest assured you're both in my thoughts and prayers and will be until you tell me otherwise. You have to be strong one though.
Roger
