got home last night to find an answering machine message from my mother: dad has crash-landed his plane after engine failure. And he's allright; but the plane is not.
that's all i know so far.
I can't get through on their home number. When I finally rang my father's mobile he was busy on the other line "organizing things" and all he would take the time to say was that he's "disappointed". He would ring me back another time.
Is this what you do when you've just nearly died?
When I got knocked off my motorbike by a truck, and sustained merely bruising, I held a party.
