What a joy it is to get an email with good news in it. I heard today from a single friend and former colleague who for many years has been teaching deaf children in Jordan. I knew that she had fallen in love some time ago with a Jordanian man but that they were kept apart by the fact that she is a committed Christian and he is a Muslim. Now she tells me that after seven years of carrying a torch for each other, they have finally got married (she is 52). I'm so pleased (even though I was going to introduce her to a lovely man I know who sometimes visits Jordan - I'll have to find someone else for him now!).

Other good news: I just got out a fourth game of Accordion, the new Patience game I've been playing. Of such small victories is daily life made up...
