accurately, beautifully, sometimes painfully
Ever felt there was something you are meant to do, or even to have done, but somehow it has slipped your mind for ages?
Yep. Me too.
I can trace exactly when this feeling first struck me. I’d randomly bumped into an old school friend, who told me that one of my best mates in school (who I’d honestly not thought of for years) was dead. And he’d been dead for a while, too. I’d not only missed the news of his death, the funeral, the chance to go “I miss the insane conversations we used to have”, but I’ve missed everyone else getting over it and moving on.
That experience tends to jolt a little, I think.
So, yada yada, I’ll be in touch and so forth, and quite frankly I’m bracing myself for conversations with my few living (and quite elderly) relatives, as I expect bad news has slipped me by there too.
So if I’ve not spoken to you in a while (and that means since you last updated your blog, for example, Danny) I’ll either be in touch soon, or hopefully you’ll ring me. Less traumatic.
Anyhow, for those who know, soon. For those who don’t, that doesn’t help you, does it?
Regards to the letters N, E and C who brought on all this new thinking.
I’m done thunking for now.
