A somewhat depressing day

There is as yet no date set for it. It has however been a somewhat depressing day. I have had to take a large number of calls from the press about Alan. It is still quite a shock to realise a colleague and friend of 20 years has now gone.

The weather has not helped. The rain just keeps on coming. I took an umbrella with me to work for the first time ever though admittedly it was to keep me dry whilst walking to a meeting at which I felt it was important not to sit there dripping wet. I suspect our water butt is overflowing now but at least I won't need to water the tomatoes when I get back to the flat.

Other than that I have nothing more to report from today.
