Lord Malcolm and the bureaucrats 3

Lord Malcolm and the bureaucrats 2

Perhaps, as Marcel Proust points out, the Housing Department people are not heartless as such… Note the following visit a few minutes ago, and there were two from the same source yesterday afternoon.

Lord Malcolm and the heartless bureaucrats…

It is no secret that Lord Malcolm is very seriously ill, though he has so far refused to succumb… He has in fact pulled off a number of near miracles, such as Saturday’s impossible trip to the Air Show in Victoria, from which he is now recovering, a process he says himself will take a while. He is at the moment in the Sacred Heart Hospice, and has been mostly in St Vincent’s Hospital or the hospice since April 2006. One by one many of his friends have dropped by the wayside when it comes to support and/or visiting, a phenomenon that is understandable if regrettable. Just a few of us are left. None of us knows how long the process will take. I for one was surprised Lord M made it into 2007, and some at the hospice, I am told, were surprised he was still alive when he returned to the hospice last week.
