So yesterday I got up; ate breakfast; knocked out enough work from 9am to 10am to pay for the rest of the day; went into town; met an internet acquaintance at my club, for a drink which turned into lunch which turned into most of the afternoon (and the acquaintance turned into a friend); got told I was cool twice; picked up my comics; didn’t buy a wardrobe; but did buy a splendid jacket after someone complimented me on it as I tried it on; stepped out into a torrential downpour, but didn’t take out my umbrella, better to get completely and utterly soaking wet; was smiled at by at least four cute girls; took a bus to the South Bank; bought a ticket on impulse for a film I’d never heard of; played with a free DS while I waited; drank a pint of wheat beer; was selected to receive a free bag of anime goodies; watched the film, which was refreshing and affecting in equal parts; left the cinema; abruptly found myself participating in an my book; slept like a very tired log. It was a good day.

I’m afraid this isn’t the place for such a comment, perhaps I’ll delete it soon.
Weeks ago I went to the website you dedicated to your late wife. She is stunningly beautiful; her eyes have something to say. I could not think of a thing to write. I only took sorrow from you, a thing that must be said to help at all. Had I only a short time to meet such a lady, an acquaintance, I would feel my life enriched. I have only a small estimate of what it must be without her and I plunge into utter grief.
Thank you for your comment. I’m sorry to have revisited my sorrow on you; but glad that I’ve apparently been successful in conveying how extraordinary Kathryn was. She was not just beautiful, but also brilliant; and while I miss her unspeakably every day, I’m also glad every day that I ever knew and loved her.
