Personal

So here’s the bombshell: My mum rings me up last night and tells me that my dad is moving out. A bit of swearing but on the whole she was quite calm and matter-of-fact. 36 years of marriage out the window because my dad feels that they have nothing in common anymore. Just to rub a bit of seasoning in he’s even admitted to a number of affairs and one-night-stands.

Well I've just been released from the lovely St. Thomas' hospital having spent the past 24 hours there hooked up to a heart monitor and having tests done.

My grandad on my mums side died this morning.

He's been ill for a while and has slowly deteriorated over the past few years so it wasn't unexpected.

Farewell grandad.
