Chinese Whispers
This morning, my manager told me that my dog had died.
See, my manager lives in my dad's diocese; and this morning she went to a morning service, and her vicar mentioned that the bishop had been burying his dog. The bishop being my dad. So when she got into work she comiserated me. All of which managed to happen before I'd managed to pick up the message on my answerphone from my dad, telling me Sam had died.
I'm a bit sad that Sam's died, though it's not that surprising; he had a tumour we'd had treated but had come back. But at the moment I'm mostly just hugely impressed by the way the news reached me...
