3 Years

3 years ago today, I travelled down in a lift with someone, as they went off for what was thought to be a one-off operation. An inconvienence in the whole scheme of things. Nothing to worry about, but something to be done. How things change, and circumstance never works out as planned.

Sat up at the cememtry on Sunday, enjoying what would've been a nice sunny afternoon, if not for the wind. An old guy was up there too, seeing to his wife's grave. Chatting he said, "They say it gets easier as time goes by, but that's b@~@**cks..."

Went to ASDA for my weekly shopping tonight. Bought a bottle of Summer Lightning, and after putting away everything, cracked it open and sat and enjoyed the silence. A beautifully cool spring evening, quiet, strangely. And, as last year, all I had to do was close my eyes ;-)
