September

Already. Summer is virtually over, the schools go back next week, cutting my eye candy quotient drastically, and although I've got the best part of two weeks off after I finish work on Sunday, I'll be far too busy to enjoy it very much, given that K and I will both be moving to our respective new domiciles during that time.
And there are other melancholy echoes, too - tomorrow is the second anniversary of Jay's untimely death, and, as I've discovered in the past hour or so, David's last blog appears to have been deleted. I wish I could run away from it all, but, of course, the one thing that you can never run away from is yourself.

Love & best wishes to all

    1. Hello
      I miss Jay, too - I was lucky enough to meet him, on his last visit to the UK, and to be able to count him as a personal friend. I'm sure many others could and would say the same.
      And you're right about David's blog still being up - I tried to visit yesterday, as I do on occasions to see if there's been any kind of activity, and got an 'unable to find this address' message a number of times. I've tried again this afternoon, making the link straight away. A small ray of light, but a welcome one.

      Love & best wishes

    2. I had a lot of communication with Jay during his last year and I was able to meet with him at a restaurant in Asheville, NC on the last road trip he made. I considered him a personal friend also, one I could share things with I don’t normally talk about. It left a big gap in my life when his tragedy struck. I sure wish we had more time than we did.

      Yes, Jay and I discussed things that many people would be unwilling or unable to even think about rationally. I'm glad you managed to meet him. He's sorely missed, and no mistake.

      Love & best wishes
