I've now wrote most of the things I needed to down, either here or privately, while memories were fresh and it has been a cathartic process. I felt that, despite all the various tributes and pieces I wrote, there was still so much left to say. I still do have so much left to say but what I need to say unfortunately has to be to Amanda. I miss our chats and the last fortnight has provided plenty of material that we could have had a wry smile over were it possible as well as simply being able to tell her I miss her and say Goodbye.
   But it's the first part over in being able to move on. I can never (and don't want to) forget Amanda but I feel I'm almost ready for the next stage. I may detail what that involves in private blog, but there's no real need, and I may report back here should I go ahead. Whatever the outcome it will be a difficult time coming up so I may be sporadic on here again. I'm being cryptic again no doubt; well tough - if you don't like it, jog on. Oh! You already have.
   Bugger.
