One of many

cybermuleI've been away from work a lot recently, and haven't really updated as much as I would like. With the result that I did a lot of neat stuff over the weekend, but forgot a good deal of it. But I do remember a nice sunny day at the pub with 0ct0pus.
I also remember my granddad's funeral on Tuesday morning. It was weird hearing the vicar talk about his life - I never realised he did so much. It still doesn't make me feel any sadder or closer to him, but I do view him in a different light. For example, it was weird seeing his military flag over his coffin, and people bringing standards into the church. I knew he was in the RAF, but I guess I never really realised how big a deal it was in his life. I also don't know anything about Blenheims, but I might go and look them up now.
I think the biggest sadness was looking at my aunt and uncle, and seeing their faces and realising I knew exactly how they felt. Two years ago, that was me, and the feeling is devastating.
I know you always think this after funerals, but I really will try and keep in touch a bit more in the future.
