Melting

The neighbours must be wondering why I am taking shots of drains. Having slithered across the pavement, and nearly slipping, this is what I saw today.

Twenty one years ago today I cooked a three course dinner for our dear friends H & F. After they had gone, and all the clearing and dishes were done, I didn't feel very well.

At 11.30 pm, I was in absolute agony.

At 12 midnight, because I pleaded with him to do so, CJ did something he had never done before, and will never do again, and no one else knows but us. It was an emergency you see.

Twenty one years ago tonight I never slept at all, not one wink.
