The best thing February could do is end.

Commiserations. It’s a fact of ageing and gets worse. I’ve been to funerals of 2 close friends and 2 ex secondary school classmates in the last 3 years.

My 80 year old dad attended the funeral of one of his best friends from secondary school during the weekend. He’s not a morbid man by any stretch but he went off on a mini monologue of “being the last man left” at one point that was difficult to hear.

Spring is here though. We’ve a country that looks better and better as the year goes by in my view and the long evening I always find good for the soul.
