What an exhausting weekend... but we've been a sailing

Saturday was going about with Simon and Rachel. We went to the antiques barn NE of Norwich and then to Wymondham, for lunch, the second hand place and the motorbike shop.

Sunday we took Luger to the boat. We got petrol on the way and at the yard, removed the outboard. Then filled up 'Northstream' with petrol and vitals. Then off for a drive up and down the river for a few hours. It was mild and the river and Ranworth broad were like a millpond. What a beautiful day!

On our anniversary on Sunday just gone

A nice day

Bumped into Wendy on the way home. Who was my first proper girlfriend. A really nice but short chat. I had a train to catch.

And just received an email from Alex, Siray's chap, to advise he's got a job at NNUH. After I'd sent his CV and a recommendation.

Excellent day all round

This life is her only chance; there'll be no other truth but the one she'll have known, no other world but the one she'll have believed in

Grandad's funeral

All four of us went to Grandad's funeral today in Reading.

Nan looked so frail, old and small.

Very large turn out of the family.

My Grandfather

Grandad died a week last Sunday. Around 6:00pm. It's a strange time. I feel most for my Dad, him losing his own father. Nan will soldier on. But Dad will find it hard I think.

Tomorrow he'll be cremated. We'll all be there.

I'm sad
