She wasn't any sort of celebrity and so her inclusion on this page might well be considered questionable, but the funeral for my partner for the last 45 years, Karen, took place earlier today - her death has completely knocked me flat on my arse for the last few weeks (that's a medical term, apparently) and I've been struggling to make sense of anything, if I'm honest, as nothing seems to matter any more, but here's a page out the service booklet to show what music was played today: You'd probably have thought Reaper would have been the natural pick, but I thought maybe that was too obvious, plus, I'd played "End of Every Song" to her on an earlier occasion and she'd really liked it, so I went with that, and it seemed to fit how I was feeling... I can tell you, there wasn't a dry eye in the place... DFTR as a concept is all very well, but I have a chair leg with which I'd like belabour that particular skeletal gentleman in question... with extreme prejudice... :-(

Have to admit, I'm running on empty at the moment, and feel like I've slipped out of sync with the rest of the world, but I appreciate all the kind thoughts and words... but everyone can do me a favour - out of the blue today go and give your loved ones a hug and let them know how much you love and appreciate them... and then after you've done that, make them go down to the doctors office for a check-up... Thanks again!

Thanks again! I hope you get back a little to normal my freind. Today I went and brought my daughter back home. She's been in the hospital for the past month. The cancer is spreading and they did a few surgeries over the last few weeks. Some exploratory, some for a experimental procedure. All extremely painful. She's just happy to be home in her own bed. Not many smiles but the one she flashed on me today meant everything. As a family we are all trying to spend as much time as we can with her. Ralph. My heart is with you bro.

My daughter was a huge One Direction fan. Some of their slower, more ballad-y stuff from their last two records was actually quite good. What a shame…31…
