Oh Dear.  I was really truly going to write today.  I even jotted down some notes, and really, really intended to write some dazzling prose.  But my brother Matthew came over for his birthday and I spent my afternoon whipping up a garlicky, vegetarian feast and now we are drinking wine, watching ‘Pirate Radio‘ on Netflix, and soon there will be self saucing chocolate cake with strawberries and vanilla ice cream.  But I wanted to prove my commitment– to write everyday, come what may–and here is my effort.  Writing is important but not more important than getting drunk and eating cake to celebrate a birthday

Apparently Paul and Linda McCartney only spent ten nights apart in their 29 year marriage. The separation is not from lack of caring.  Sometimes it just doesn’t happen, life happens instead…consider this one of those nights.
