where there's life there's generally a bar
It's been a funny old week.

Last night I heard of a death - a friend, Ian Tabor, better known to Glastonbury Messageboarders as HGM. Conflicting emotions, because we used to get along very well, but hadn't spoken much since I resigned as a mod on the messageboard earlier this year. Among his family he leaves an autistic son, who he doted on. I'm making plans to go to his funeral.

This morning my friend ryk became a dad - he and his partner Anna have a little girl, Nadine. I could not be more pleased for them because this is what they really wanted. Ryk sounded so happy when we spoke earlier.

I'm just waiting for a marriage to complete the set... having said that, a friend is becoming Civilly Partnered this week, and I'm going to her commitment party next weekend.

All boxes are ticked!

Have a great weekend.
