The soldier from 3 Rifles killed yesterday by a suicide car bomb has still not been named, neither has the Company he was serving with. C's Company is C Company.
Prince Charles visited the troops this week and commented on the 'bloody awful time' the Rifles have had whilst on tour. Nothing more to add really.
The 'A' list party last night was fun, Alladin, Morticia Adams, Audrey Hepburn, Adam Ant and our host in the most fantastic Andy-pandy suite to name but a few. I went as a cow-girl in honour of Annie get your gun, and found it incredibly difficult to purchase said hardware and settled for a pair of sizzling red water pistols.
Isn't it ironic that it is considered so politically incorrect to play with toy weapons and yet we cheerfully bundle specimens of our youth off to another land to be assaulted by every kind of armament imaginable, including same, without batting an eye lid. We apply safety on a very selective basis.
Just seen that Barack Obama is also visiting Afghanistan - it's almost like this is the week of the celebrity appearance. The rich and famous only have to pop in and out though.
Had the most wonderful weekend in years. Absolutely delightful. Didn't want it to end. My nice new friend is the most gorgeous company and this evening he's cooking Sunday dinner for his boy.
Just hope there is nothing dreadful waiting to cloud the bliss.
Heard from H and he's left Brighton and is feeling flat as he's due to go to sea for a long stretch and the uncertainty of where that will be is concerning him. R recovered from her gathering last night which culminated with a trip to the local country club at midnight and now she's gone to visit her father in my car.
Fellow soldier's Mum sends her love.
Please look after them Lord
Speak soon. A soldier's Mum x
