74. My grandson set this up for me. I mostly look at birds.

Sorry, a stupid question. Does "grounded" mean they are broken, or that someone has told them not to fly?

I cannot work out from the news which one it is and they seem very different to me.

I do not really understand what happened with the aeroplanes. My grandson says it is serious. Is it serious?

He said "that is where it stops".

I have heard a great many men say where it stops. My husband was in Korea. I do not remember it ever stopping where they said.

I hope I am wrong. I have been wrong before and I have never wanted it more.

I remember the last one. I was three, so I remember my mother's face and not much else.

I did not expect to see her face on my own in the mirror this morning. I am so terribly sorry, all of you. I truly thought we had finished with this.

Fifty-two days.

I have watched all of it on this little screen my grandson set up. I have learned what a GIUK gap is. I am 74 and I did not need to learn that.

Two goldfinches this morning. I am telling you because somebody should say something ordinary today.

Tanya, I am 74 and I have nothing useful to offer you except that I am thinking about your boy tonight, and I will again tomorrow.

That is not much. I am sending it anyway.
