Weird

Okay, now this is getting weird. Yesterday I received an e-mail from an ex-housemate... I haven't seen her in about 18 months, and I think we haven't contacted each other for probably about a year. She was writing to tell me she'd finally handed in her Ph.D thesis (she started the Ph.D when we were sharing a house, back in 1998) AND to tell me that she's pregnant - the baby is due this week! It was great to hear that, but so weird to hear from another old friend. I'm starting to wonder if word has got around that I have a terminal illness, so everyone feels they should catch up with me one last time...
