Funeral today of a friend/colleague I mostly lost touch with but liked a lot, and I've spent a lot of time with him in the past being a deckhand with him and his partner for a whole sailing season.
He died very unexpectedly. Twenty year old daughter who's done amazing. I spent some time talking to her, I lost my mum suddenly when I was twenty, she instantly declared us sisters.
There was something of an 'after party' if you can call it this, so many people from the past. Which was very nice really, but I'm utterly tired now.
There was a very tasty tomato soup and a couple of beers at the after thing on the ship. No idea what as in the soup, but despite generously dosing for an unknown quantity of carbs it took a couple of correction doses to get back to normal.
All fine, who cares.
And a second date with this Tom will happen after all.
I don't like him in 'that way', and I felt it wouldn't be fair to meet again with him being interested in more than I am. Until I decided it's up to him, why would I think I need to decide for someone else to protect them? I can use another night of interesting talk and a good hug, so I very clearly explained my doubts, and he'll be coming over on sunday, with his dog.
Which should become interesting with my two dogs and the sleepover dogs, none of them like large dogs usually. And his dog Shief has never met chickens, let alone ducks or turkeys, I'm quite sure we won't be bored.
