I found the babiest of butterflies.

HRH phoned with her first year university results. Inflated with pride.
She phoned an hour later when I was on my butterfly walk to let me know one of our elderly next door neighbours had died. I think she had wanted to go for some time.
I wanted to be home.

This is a backblip as I ordered a small jug of vino tinto, got served a large one, drank it and fell asleep

There will be no more alcohol
for a while
