Do you do Rescue Missions?

Patsie and I have always had several phrases in life.

  1. Never Turn Right on an Airplane (Unless its a Lear Jet) They Never have First class in the rear.
  2. Cocktail? Well its after Six somewhere in the world.
  3. Oh its awful sweetie, Do you do rescue missions?
The first two we may laugh about but I have always laughed every time Alex has said "I do rescue missions you know".

Today, after feeling really depressed at missing Dusan, I had a message from Alex on the way back to the office. "What happened to you? Have you dropped off the planet?" I admitted I was just feeling down and missing Dusan. "Do you do rescue missions?" I asked.

An hour later I was sat at my desk when my mobile went. It was Patsie. "So Rescue missions cost you dinner". He said.

We met at 1800 and moved on to the bar for cocktails, then dinner with Verve Rose and the most fabulous three course meal. Expensive? Maybe. It depends on what you value. I value, love, honour, friendship and more than anything people that keep their word. Alex was there today when I felt at my lowest and drove over 120 miles just to visit me. Dinner was nothing. After all you choose your friends. What wonderful friends we really do have.

Finishing off dinner and heading back to my room to catch up with Dusan. I have no idea how much a 30 minute call to Eastern Europe from my phone costs, but at least I spoke to the man I love. As the rain storm sets in and the Thunder rumbles in the distance and temperatures plumet to mid teens, Dusan is back in Croatia in the 40's and melting. Its a mad world.

And now, ready for Bed. Thanks to Alex & lots of love. And all my love and kisses to Dusan.
Always Neil x
