En route to my daughters
Left my daughters place and caught the train to Gosford and went for a small ride up to Narara. There I met up with a friend of now some 46 years (yikes). He hasn't had much luck. First a divorce, and then the death of two of his kids, then his second wife, and then a daughter.
I suspect life has taken its toll of him, but he copes, and has a 14 yo son by the second marriage to keep him going. And then it was farewell, as in Julius Caesar;
If we do meet again, why, we shall smile;
If not, why then, this parting was well made.
Rode onto Wyong before catching the train to Newcastle. My coughing was getting pretty bad and took a private room at the YHA, don't think anyone would have appreciated my wheezing.
Had a standard dinner, plus a few paracetamols and went to bed.
