Even if what I'm writing is tough to read, I hope they would be able to say that it was truthful.<br /><br />BTW - I agree about 'seaside'. Too much. I nipped it out - but kept 'scrying' because I can't think of any other occasion when I might get away with using that word! ;)Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-85692237275138982592009-06-27T03:35:48.654+00:002009-06-27T03:35:48.654+00:00As you go about your work people give you the gift...As you go about your work people give you the gift of their most precious stories.

But I suppose it's an unavoidable aspect of the job. In reality, there are lots of positives to keep you afloat. Anyway - thanks for your comment, and for reading the blog. :)<br /><br />Family Affairs - Do you need roof tiling? That's one of the jobs I've done in my time. Hardest job in the world... xxx<br /><br />LIV - how are you? <br />You're right - cancer is <i>such</i> a tough deal. I'd far rather be taken outright than have to live with a gradual decline (just cowardly like that, I guess). Amazing job that hospices / Macmillan nurses do, though. Palliative care is not the glitzy end of medicine, but should get much more recognition and resources. I'm amazed that Martletts Hospices are still charities, and get no central funding. How is that possible? <br /><br />Hope you're well and everything's good with you.<br />SxxSpence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-76987178589096205452009-06-25T15:27:57.343+00:002009-06-25T15:27:57.343+00:00‘Don’t - leave me - until I’m better,’ he says.
‘W...‘Don’t - leave me - until I’m better,’ he says.<br />‘We promise.’<br /><br />This made me sad, not entirely sure why; perhaps because so many of your 'customers' demand this from you when they don't need it. Karol did need it but he felt he should 'ask' for it. A proper cry for help you could hear :) Somewhere in these quoted lines is your job description I suppose!<br /><br />Excellent post Spence, was right there with you.

Which is pathetic I know. But there we go. Very evocative post as ever and if I'm honest suspect the reason you have more followers is because you have a BRILLIANT writing style. Still. I have just been to Bangkok and have taken some good photos. Not that I'm being competitive again or anything.
