Lovely Tim

 People don't update bookmarks and notifications any more - I know that I don't.  I use a feed reader, so at least I know when blogs have been updated, even after several years.  But I touch base here once in a while, if there's something to say that you might feel you'd want to know.

I wish I didn't have this to say today, but I'll have to.  My Tim died a fortnight ago.  It was sudden and unexpected, though he was waiting for an evaluation to decide on treatment for a failing aortic valve.  There isn't much more to say, I've had to repeat the tale too many times already.  He died at his house in Reading, so I'm holding his funeral there and then bringing his ashes back here, where there will be a short service in our local church, where we were married.  

People are looking after me but it's hard to bear it.  There isn't any alternative, there's too much to do.

Thank you, dear Duta.

Steve. Because 'Steve' is almost as nice a name as 'Paul'. said...

You had wonderful years with him. I'm so sorry he's gone. My condolences, Zoe. He was the soul of wit and I know he was a great comfort to you.

Thank you all. I know that some of you still follow this page and not my current blog page, because I sign in under google. I probably should post in both places. I do love to keep in touch with my friends.

Kestrel, I've tried to comment on your page but I can't, I'm sorry. Even though I'm signed in to google here and on my gmail, when I go to your blog it doesn't show me as signed in and there's no option for me to do so. I don't know how to change it. I'll keep trying.
