Last and First Things

Today was the public inquest into the death of our friend who "died as a result of his own actions". That was the narrative verdict returned by the coroner, rather than the pre-defined verdict of 'suicide'.

We agreed that it is better that the day is behind us rather than in front of us. No-one said 'closure'

One of our grandsons was measured for his first shoes today. The other one said 'potato'
