Home to sad news

Talked to Anton this afternoon who had some very sad news about Keith his stepdad who died yesterday. Keith was a very generous man and kind man, who latterly got immense pleasure from his relationship with Oskar and Klaudia. I feel really sad for Anne, Anton's Mum, and sent her a card this afternoon. To send a card after such a momentous and life changing event seems paltry, but I guess the thought's the thing.

Up at 5:30am, and due to the clocks springing forward this seemed even earlier. Stole away from La Barbarie and all too quickly was watching Guernsey slide behind the 7.00am plane's starboard wing while Lorraine dozed.

Home to a pleased, although slightly bitey, Calliope. And Sam sleeping, as only teenagers can, till mid afternoon. He stayed till the evening playing World of Warcraft before Lorraine came to take him and his technology. He'd done a good job, and the house was in good shape, and the cat clearly likes him.

Meanwhile I generally zoomed about doing immense amounts of laundry, and shopping and so on. Seemed odd to be indoors so much, and kept popping out. Spoke to Bob while on my travels. Life in Salisbury is settling down well I think.

Despite missing Guernsey, felt good to be sitting on my gold sofa tonight, with Calliope's face on my shoulder, while eating a slice or two of Gache.
