Life is for Living..


Well, here's an update on the Shughie and Ronald post below. And sad reading it makes too.

It turns out that Ronald was found on the floor. The police are of the view that he hung himself and Shughie found him and cut him down but it was too late, Ronald was gone. Shughie then hung himself in despair.

They had been there for nine days!

It's TWLFWWLND I feel sorry for. She's having nightmares and flashbacks to what she saw when she opened that letter box. The smell was appalling and the pair of them were home to the usual things that move in as life's spark moves out.

Dearest attended the funeral - possibly the saddest she has ever experienced.

Father and son.




But life goes on and life's looking up just lately. The difference having a job you enjoy makes just cannot be over emphasised. I've just had my 54th birthday and have received some cracking presents including tickets to see John Martyn and Goldfrapp and a Beatles weekend in The Hard Day's Night Hotel in central Liverpool. Whoop.

Right, we've not had any pics for a while:-

Happy Belated Birthday Greetings.


I can't get over the story of Suggie and Ronald. What a terrible tragedy.

I saw the Shugie and Ronald story in the local rag - you know which one. Terrible sad. I can't imagine that sort of dispair.

Matt & Phred's is great. Odd place, but great to hang out there early evening.

John Martyn was great when I saw him last year. Don't expect to make much sense of what he says between songs!

I'd like to see Goldfrapp, you lucky blighter.

I've not seen John live before. I hope he survives long enough to do the concert.

Fine photos, a real mixed bag. Please do write up the Liverpool week-end - it should make a good tale.
