on Nov 15, 2009What, in the name of Beelzebub and all his little wizards, is going on with the weather?!Never have I seen the trees shaken by such tumultuous winds. It was most unsettling. On venturing into our garden as the gusts whipped around us, my partner glan...

Saturday 7 November 2009
on Nov 7, 2009Inevitably, then, came the aftermath.As we moved away down the road from Charlie's house, my partner clung to me, sobbing over and over again about how much she'd missed me, how she thought she'd never see me again, how much she loved me, etc. Person...
