Morning light

Out early and beat the rain.  Win.

Mr RIU went to the burial and wake of a teenage  friends father.  They had not connected for 15 or so years but Mick spent lots of time at his home as a teenager, playing chess with Dad and being fed by mum.  He and his wife (who was the sister of one of my good friends) moved north, had children, had grand children and got divorced so our paths took different directions. He has a new partner and ex wife (and her sister) live locally again.  There were others at the funeral that neither of us have seen for over 40 years.  

 I had back to back meetings but picked him up from the family home in the early evening and there had been much alcohol consumed.
