April 15th
Day spent tidying, bottle collecting with a new friend and finishing The West Wing box set. Did a bit of what I do when a Doctor regenerates..curse the stupid, rubbishy programme for having me in tears. Obviously, I only react like that because I'm so upset.
Eldest went back to uni today -but will be home soon. I MISS her.
I dug up a lot of jars today - was feeling blue so lit them all. My glowing garden cheers me up.

23 years ago 96 people went to watch a football match and never came home. I remember seeing the fans cars with scarves out the windows driving back from Sheffield past my mum and dads house...late into the night.
Hillsborough was much more than a football tragedy; it was a travesty of justice. The dead and their families were denied their fundamental rights because the legal system designed to serve and protect them was part of the same system that contributed to the disaster in the first place.

"..On April the 15th every year
when all is calm and skies are clear
beneath a glowing Yorkshire moon
a lone scots piper plays a tune"
