Bad days

I really hate days that are filled with bad news, firstly i fell out and then fortunately made up with a good friend, then i received a text message to say my old friend Chris's mam had died of cancer ( see evening chronicle family notice below).
It seems every year at Christmas time bad news rears it's ugly head. Poor Chris is starring in Aladdin at the Theatre Royal Newcastle and i bet he is still having to do the show before the funeral and probably the afternoon of the funeral, how strong must he be to be able to do that or just 100000000% loyal to his showbusiness career.
I did text him anonymously to send my condolences and he asked who i was but i said it was not important, just to let him know that people are thinking about him right now.

I am lucky to still have my parents, i have lost a brother, sister in law and two nephews though, not through death just by falling out, pretty pathetic really but stubborness runs through the Gleghorn family.

I am here in Calgary Canada and being alone in a hotel room does not help when bad news arrives, especially as the hotel has been plunged into darkness on and off for 2 days with no lights, tv or internet.

This is not one of those cities on my "Must have a holiday there" list, its depressing, miserable and because it is winter it is like a ghost town at night as so cold outside.
ALl the buildings are linked by tunnels so you never have to step into the open unless you want too.



HAYWARD (Byker). Peacefully on December 15th, aged 66 years, Anne (nee Brennan), devoted wife of Fred, loving mam to Christopher and Gary and his fiancee Karen and sister of Betty. Family and friends please meet at St. Anthony of Padua, Roman Catholic Church, on Thursday December 20th at 10.00am, followed by cremation at The West Road Crematorium at 11.15am. R.I.P.


God Bless Anne
