Mr and Mrs White Take the Guardian and the Charts at a Stormy Pace
While in the big smoke the boy and I were lucky enough to pay a visit to our friends of marriage Mr and Mrs Matthew and Ellen White. What was really nice for the boy who after having his confidence a little crushed when I whooped his arse at shooting down the teeth in Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park was that he was able to tell our friends that he had found some work.
They are and neither thank goodness are any of our friends the kind of people who would judge someone for being out of work but nevertheless it was nice for him to be able to answer the question of what he was up to with a more positive response than he has been doing of late. It is never easy to be out of work when you want to be doing something with your time even when one is not well enough to be at work many still wish that they could.
What was lovely about seeing this pair is that we were lucky enough to attend their wedding and now had the privilege of meeting their baby girl who is just a complete sweetheart and who managed to have the boy wrapped around her tiny little hand from the moment he held her in his arms. They are both people of talent and it shows in the form of the beautiful little girl they are now the proud parents to.
When I had my dress sale back in May in spite of being heavily pregnant and with enough on their plate Mr and Mrs White both attended and got involved coming along with other friends up to th country from the depths of the big smoke, braving the traffic to show their support. Since then the baby has been born and what with all my highs and lows and little in-between the two we have only just got round to getting together for a catch up.
Since we last saw each other Mrs White has appeared in the Guardian thanks to her expertise and assistance to a baby in a hospital where she worked and cared for the child of a Guardian journalist. She is a woman committed not only to her friends and family but also to her job and it was wonderful to see that both Mrs White and the hospital for which she works in central London, which is not the one you are thinking of but whose work is equally important, received some of the recognition it deserved.
Also we had news from Mr White who is a talented musician and maker of brilliant YouTube videos such as Mr Potato Men getting dressed very slowly, (Google it , you won’t regret doing so), has now released his first single on which a track by him features. I have bought it , actually twice, by accident but am not too upset as it is very good and fun to dance to at 3am in the morning even if I should have been in bed. ANyone who likes to get their moves on or even those who just like a tune with a good beat should check it out, I have a feeling it will catch on fast.
If you are interested in finding out more about these wonderful people whose support, friendship and understanding as well as their brilliant sense of humor has helped me come through highs and lows then follow the links below and if you fancy, purchase the single. It comes from me and I am a tad biased but it is bloody good and well worth a listen.
Just as an aside I do not think that my dancing at 3am in the morning was a great sign of how I am coming off my high but rest assured I have been prescribed new medication so hopefully the late night tweeting, blogging and all round strangeness should soon come to a stop.
