Brief blog today. Just getting things sorted before going to work, and of course Nige is visiting later.
Had a phone call last night from a friend. It was a sad call, their partner had just admitted to having feelings for someone else. It was a sudden, out- of -the- blue- revelation, and my friend's devastation was total,profound and terrible to hear.
I guess all of us rely on other people for our meandering journey in everyday life, and the shock of realising that the bedrock of what you hold close and dear is no longer there (or more importantly wants to be there) must be catastrophic.
Sometimes life seems so very fickle doesn't it?
