Dark days




Hello all. I won't be here for a bit. I mentioned bad news last week and I was going to say that feels like bereavement, then I did have very sad news of a death yesterday. The two together have knocked me right back and I am struggling with every little task. I hate to say this but when I heard of the real death I thought to myself ' Thank goodness for an excuse to be upset' (because people ask what's wrong all the time about the first thing and it's really too complicated to talk about. So now I can say it's the death.) Blogging is beyond me. I have published the comments that were here today but I don't feel up to answering them, except to say my friend's problem I mentioned on Friday is not at all his fault.

I hope you all have nice Christmasses. I might put up a post nearer the time, we'll see. You have all been very good pals to the Chicken and I really value that. I will be back but I just can't do this stuff right now.

----- Friday

It should be Fauna Friday but devastation befell me yesterday. I have chosen that word meaningfully. One of my worst nigtmares has happened for real, to do with my closest and longest-term friend. The extreme to which he has reacted is gargantuan. The blog has been quiet for a while because of this all building up. I will be back as normal when we have found what we can do.
