Good for Madge

Here I am, all bleary eyed, had a lovely sleep actually, could have laid there for hours. Yesterday we went out with the intention of buying a wardrobe, every single one we saw and measured appeared to be too small, it was like mission impossible. We came home with a lampshade and various other items instead, then Gerald decided to take the measurements again and we discovered that there had been a blunder and we could have bought any one of the wardrobes, typical.
So I read this week that Madge is going to help the Aids orphans in Malawi, good for her, if more people can draw the world's attention to places like that the better. I don't think many people realise exactly how bad the situation is. I know when my uncle had his business in Zimbabwe, he lost 75% of his workers to Aids, it is so bad there that the average life expectancy is only about 35. So many people die that there is nowhere to bury them, they don't even have proper coffins to put them in. A lot of the orphans just end up the streets scavenging a living. If you ever want your heart broken go to Africa and open your eyes, have a really good look around.
I didn't mean to be all serious and morose, but these were just my thoughts today. Most people don't appreciate what they have, so next time you feel like moaning about your lot in life, just remember, your life is probably a bed of roses compared to some.
