Now I'm not saying this for sympathy or to put a downer on anybody- quite the opposite in fact; normally I would keep it to myself. Yesterday I was feeling 100% shit but today I've started to realise that he went the way he has always said he would want to go ; I was happy I had skyped him at the Bells at Hogmanay ; really pleased I'd scanned the photos he sent me of when he came out to visit me ( though it would have been better with less bottles and fags and stuff on the table in front of us ) ; there are honeysuckle and roses in flower in my garden in january; the sun was shining when I took my dog for a walk along the beach; said old dog made it back without asisstance ; my new house is nearing completion; if the bank manager says anything I'll get a loan from one of those places that drop in the letterbox every day ; my toothache has stopped; I calculated that I've got enough wood for the fire to last till spring without having to order any more. Now I am most definitely NOT a religious freak, or hippy dippy - just a normal guy - but I'm really beginning to see there ARE positives too! Thanks for indulging me - has helped just writing this!!!
