Fingers crossed...

...for stefanc, who is in a job interview as I type.

Nearly a year

Well, I thought I should tip all my pals here off that Monday will be the first anniversary of my mother's death. I have decided to make the day as normal as possible - I elected to go in to work as usual - but I am acutely aware that I shall be acutely aware of it, and so I thought I'd do a small post here to let out my thoughts, much as I pierced the cherry tomatoes I put in the stir-fried/simmered curry I did a few days ago, so that they'd leak healthily and flavoursomely rather than burst in my face.
