No, I'm not at the Viking, Gerry - I'll be just down the road at Airmyn, with the Jellybeans. Haven't seen Chris and Geraldine in ages!

I know I said I was staying in, but I went to town and ordered carpets for next week. I had to get out of the village. Trouble was that my thoughts were all over the place and I had to brake a bit sharpish at one point, due to that. Soon pulled me into shape, though!

I think that you may be right, Kat, although it's the first anniversary where I have had opportunity to brood..... I do, however, take my godmother's approach: I grieve, but I don't mourn. It does feel like a bit of me has been ripped out at the moment.

However, I know I'll be back to "normal" tomorrow, when I have lots going on.
