Explanation

Thanks for your messages and thoughts.

I had just received some bad news: my son's marriage is dissolving. I really needed time to assimilate it. It was / is / will continue to be shattering.

'nuff said.

Service as usual from tomorrow morning.

READING: Wordsworth's poems, randomly.
LISTENING TO: Pink Floyd. "Wish You Were Here". Really, really loud.
WORD OF THE DAY: Helpless. As in: "I just feel so bloody...."

NO RATS TODAY. wait 'til* tomorrow.

*: Am I the only one left in the world today who understands that this word is an abbreviation? The full word is "UNTIL". The word TILL means to turn the earth, as in till the soil; a TILL casn also be a cash-drawer - as in "put he money in the TILL, Granville". The word UNTIL is abbreviated by using an apostrophe, as 'til.

  1. Aw Allan, that's tough news. Hope you guys are all okay.
    Cute profile pic, by the way - and no, you are not the only person on the planet who gets arsed off by the use of till instead of `til.
    Love to you and Jenny x
