Some old and very dear friends are having some relationship problems at the moment.  As their friends we have tried to be a source of support without prying or interfering.  

But it was with a heavy heart that I saw one of my best friends slip further and further out of circulation in spite of (because of?) my best intentions to be an ear and a shoulder.

Well the news is that my phone messages have finally been answered and we are going out for a drink on Saturday night.  Result.
