Day 168 Week 23

Absolutely lovely evening. Supper and talking until an extremely late hour and then fell asleep and actually slept for a change. And now today we're going to the twenty-first of a friend of C's and he's also a soldier and due to go back out in September. There seems to be a constant merry-go-round of out and back and I read yesterday that the infantry soldier can now expect to go to Afghanistan once in every two years.

Was supposed to be going for a long walk but the day turned into a very lazy feast of lolling around. And now watching the rugby and Wales beating Italy twelve-nil. Wonder if C ever gets to see or hear the rugby as he loves it so much.

Think I'm going to be totally decadent and have a sleep before the drinks this evening.

No news from H. R off to a party the other side of the M25,and trying to remain upbeat and not neurotic about the thought of her out on the razzle in Essex. No news from C and am just hoping the same as I always hope.

Fellow soldier's Mum plodding on too.

Keep them safe please Lord.

Speak soon. A soldier's Mum x
