(no subject)

Got back from London half an hour ago. My brother greeted me at the airport with some bad news - my grandmother fell on Thursday and has severely hurt her shoulder. She is in hospital right now, and it's not sure whether she will heal completely or whether she will have problems with moving her arm for the rest of her life.

Why is it that whenever I plan a journey with my friend S, something nasty happens to one of us? (the most harmless of these things was me being stuck at the airport for 6 hours).
