We went to a funeral yesterday... sadder than usual as the man was only 44 and had passed very suddenly from a heart attack. The complete shock of it made it so hard to assimilate as our new reality. It underscored the shortness of life - whether it's things we need to say, or apologize for saying, or things we need to get done - the phrase "no time like the present" really hangs around the mind at a time like this.
We wonder what things Trevor left undone and unsaid, and what things he was glad he had 'gotten around to'.
The twistings and vagaries of my sometimes writerly mind...

Hello!
After a long break, including a short break in the UK, and another short break to recover the threads that were dropped during my absence (fix garden, do housework, catch up laundry - you know the drill!), I am back at my desk once more.
Except that it was to attend a funeral, our trip to York was wonderful. We met two of our aunt's grandsons with whom we have been facebook poking, and it was nice to finally see them in person. We stopped with said aunt and uncle in their 2 bedroom pensioner flat (in a single bed! oo-er!) in Holgate with their lab cross, Candy. She made sure we all got some exercise, if not walking then rubbing her chest.
