The death of a close friend

March 24th, 2011

My apologies for being somewhat late today.

A very close friend passed away suddenly, and I am struggling to cope with the loss.

My close companion Roger finally passed over, after a short illness.

A lot of you will remember my mentioning Roger in past years.  He is the one who faithfully navigated me through the motorways and back-roads of life with his cheery instructions.  Frequently he would try to persuade me to veer off into a canal or over a cliff, as he had a devilish sense of humour.

I will sorely miss him and his cheerful mispronunciation of Irish and French place names.

I’m too emotional to say any more.

Now I suppose I will have to buy a new SatNav?
