It's been that kind of week.

We had dinner last night with Supersnickle's mum & dad. Part way through the evening The Snickle's father, Dookie, turned to me and said, "I didn't realise your dad had died." He told us that his mum, who I'd met only once and thought was wonderful, and who obviously loved her older son very much, died suddenly last year. I then created a weird kind of awkwardness around the table by promptly bursting into tears. Good Lord, no wonder we don't see them more often.

That and also? They live in Canberra.
