One sleep

There was a family bereavement; in shock, hasn't quite registered..going from teary to denying it. Good things can happen in a short time but so can death; the fragility of it all. Accept what we have with grace.

People are busier in the summer, emerging from a more dormant winter. This is braai weather. We went for a picnic at a lake; there was a tree in the middle of it. There were happy looking dogs, a cricket match on the green in whites. On a Sunday she had a sundae with blue sauce. Then we saw the other cricket the IPL final; Mumbai buoyed by Johnson got their first title win. Bhaji and Pollard will be the party protagonists; Mumbai is a good city to party anyway.

One sleep till Wembley. The Palace fraternity will be out in force and show what is good about SE London in the wake of recent events. I told a guy in a Dortmund stronghold to stick a fiver on Palace to win 2-1.

Garlic and Shots in Soho looks good; there's a basement Vampire Bar. Wear gothic clothes and eat as much garlic as you like in this Swedish idea; licy licy. Did want to gorge ourselves at Brazilian Preto on chicken love hearts and salad but for another time.
I'm ready and prepared for a busy week workwise so bring it. Dream the future.
