Hope that third new experience wasn't too traumatic for either yourself or your friend, Robin.

The paragraph about ice skating had me choking on my lunch with laughter...

Not too bad for me, thanks Ben. I'm afraid it does look very bad for my friend though. Lots of accusations it's very difficult to deny have been thrown at him. I fear that I probably did him no good but I also probably did him no harm. As a witness you can only answer the questions they ask you, unless you can bend them round. I bent like a good 'un but they didn't ask what I expected and there's a limit to my bending abilities. Personally I'm sort of over it. I can only grieve so long for someone else's life, and this has been with me for several years. I have done what I can to protect him and his child. Now I have to protect myself.
