Let them eat cake.

Today I delivered a banana loaf to a friend whose husband had a mammoth (and I mean mammoth - some 11 hours from going into anaesthetics to being out of recovery) heart op on Tuesday.

I'm sure I used to be the sort of person who, when friends were having a rough time, had many words of wisdom and empathy. I don't know if it's a product of my experiences over the last few years or what, but these days I find the words have completely gone, and all I can ever think of to do is make cake and thrust it at people in a sort of mute sympathy.

People seem quite happy with this arrangement!
