Hello my friends. I apologise for the interruption in service - I believe many of you have not been receiving this blog since about x. It's hoped that the problem is now rectified, so could one or two of you let me know if this has...
I apologise for being a pest, but can you let me know below if you receive this post? Some six months after publication, “We Do Not Kill Children” finally got its long-promised “launch” party. I certainly enjoyed the evening, and it seemed that other people did...
Hello all. I apologise for lack of proper post this week. However, if you have received this as normal, please let me know, as I understand some people haven't been getting the posts. If you've already let me know, don't bother to do it again. Also, make sure...

My father died at the age of 57 (when I was 26) and my mother at the age of 89. My in-laws also lived to ripe old ages. So I can say that I have experienced bereavement, but not in its sharpest forms – sudden...
