Unsettling experience: I was woken by the alarm at 0630 from a very vivid and "real" dream, in which I was sitting in the bar of "de Engel" (a bar in Brussels, Belgium - where I used to live)with a group of people, amongst whom was John Warren (a very good friend).

He had just said to me, "Well, what have you been up to, me old mate, let's go and have a talk". And we were about to go to another table when the alarm went.

I woke up and was desolated to realise that it was in fact a dream and that I never will ever again get the chance to do that (John died suddenly in June last year).

How sad life is sometimes.
