Really short blog as absolutely knackered and no news to impart, thank God.
The head of the Army and the head of the Navy are having an unseemly spat over 'the way forward'. Strangely enough the Sea Lord thinks we need more ships and submarines and the Major General thinks we need more soldiers and small armaments. In these days of economical prudery it will be interesting to see which boy's train set wins the day, my only serious concern is the likelihood of soldiers and sailors being sent into war with one metaphorical hand tied behind the back because of lack of decent, safe, well maintained equipment.
So good to be back at work. Love everyone to bits. Met a guy today whose previous existence consisted of being a Lieutenant Commander in the RN and lots of chat about Dartmouth and the several wars he'd participated in. Hopefully my boys can be just as fortunate.
At last aid is beginning to arrive in Haiti and it looks as if more than two hundred thousand could have perished. Bodies being tumbled into mass graves from dustbin lorries, almost too horrendous for us to contemplate but we must because they need our help so desperately.
No news from H so hopefully things good there. No news from R so hopefully all well there too, just miss her so much. And last but by no means least, no news from the frontline and so please God all well with everyone.
Shepherd's pie for supper.
Speak soon. A soldier's Mum x
