Emily,

If you have just read Tony's diary - did you look at the rest of the
web-site??  If you look through the "Rogues Diary" you will see some shots
of the man himself, although it may be difficult to imagine him as the
"man" - he is mainly wearing dresses i.e. red pvc and a tiger stripe one -
so yes, I certainly do have a sense of humour!!  I am the "little lady" AKA
Mum (yeah right!) wearing the tiger striped leggings in the photos.s of our
bike rally last year.  Amongst other things, I take charge of the "Virgin
Pot" (and take great delight in concocting various mixtures for the rally
virgins) and the Mr Rally (where I basically humiliate as much as possible)
the "erm, male members" of the biking community, last year they had to
decorate a certain part of their anatomy with fresh cream, cherries, and
other cake decorations and the year before they had to see how many
pineapple rings they could put on ....their.....!

I so think that a sense of humour has helped me along the way and still does
now.  I think that was why Tony and I lasted so long because we were both on
the same wave length.  Although some days, I do wonder if I have "lost the
plot a bit", I've started doing little "rituals", like touching his photo
before I go to work each day and calling good-bye as I am leaving for work,
perhaps it is simply a sign that I need some "adult" input in my life
(grin!!)  When I screwed up putting my first flat pack together, I really
really chuckled to myself, thinking "thank goodness Tony isn't here to see
this", he sure would have given me a hard time!!  Perhaps I had definitely
better move before the men in white coats come for me..... (giggle!)

Mega Hugs back to you Emily (your're a star you know...!)
