pip proud 1949-2010


Pip Proud died yesterday from throat cancer aged 62.
His last seven or eight years (following the stroke that left him blind and partially paralysed) were unenviable in so many ways. He was a big part of my life for the last 15 years with a range of frustrations and delights, and I will most definitely miss him very much.

I'm really sorry to hear this.
My grandfather died four months ago for a viagra overdose and I can't still overcome that loss. Take care. Love and blessings.

I just get so tired. I have been extremely exhausted on weekends recently. But it might be because of the heatwaves.  So, see below. Do you ...
