I was in a terrible mood all yesterday. Carl came to the door and I was brusque with him, my friend Judy wrote me about some regrettable goings-on in the Archdiocese of Westminster and I replied with an attack on Cardinal Archbishop Cormac Murphy O'Connor which was quite hair-raising in its unreconstructed bigotry. In the end I had to sit myself down and ask myself what the hell was going on.
And myself replied that a friend of mine had died young- an LJ friend as it happens- and it just wasn't bloody fair.

I've got a lot of LJ friends but very few who were as vivid to me as he was. I had a very strong sense of his personality- and what a good man he was.
