Calm

S set off to go sailing this morning, for the first time in nearly a year. But when he got to La Nautique, it was so calm that he took a canoe out instead. So this photo is courtesy of him. I did take some photos myself when we went down to the garden (first time since last autumn), but I've blipped quite enough flowers recently. I did like this Star of Bethlehem though.

The funeral went as well as these things can -- many friends showed up for a short, simple ceremony at the crematorium, with music chosen by both J and B. Afterwards back to B's, not for a wake as such, but chat, canapes, and human warmth. We caught up with good friends of theirs whom we haven't seen for years, and there was laughter and reminiscence as well as hugs and tears.
