57:365 Ric...

56:365 Francisco...

... has enriched my life immeasurably. Intelligent, funny, warm, cuddly, generous. A master of lateness and faffing. A catalyst. Through him I have met people I cannot imagine life without. Least of all the man himself...

55:365 Oscar...

... would arrive with videos and Lucozade when I was ill. Unusually thoughtful acts at 15 years old. The brother I never had. In a narration of my teens undoubtedly a key protagonist of the story...

54:365 Bruce...

... was flatmate / friend of Graham. He introduced me to the exotic cuisine of Scotland, haggis! Bruce came out to me, despite our fledgling friendship, hoping I would pave the way for his admission to Graham...

53:365 Graham...

52:365 Jim...

51:365 Barrington...

... always cut a rather dramatic dash. Tall, slender and sporting a head of short dreadlocks that somehow defined him. Creative, worldly, well read and dynamic beyond comprehension. His hyperactive personality was endearing, in small doses...

50:365 Richard...

... died far too young. Official verdict was death by drowning. The unofficial verdict included the fatally cataclysmic heart defect. His death ended our regular tennis 'tournaments' and left an eternally sad imprint on my heart...

49:365 Guy...

... is my spiritual soul mate. Cut from the same fabric of life. Intelligent, funny and forthright. We drunkenly 'pacted' to be each others "plan B" knowing entirely that would never be enough for either of us...

48:365 Andrea...

... moved to the other side of the world to find herself a new life. Now a 'Mrs' with a new future ahead. Straight talking, dependable. Travel companion and friend of the highest quality. Missed greatly...

46:365 Katrina...

... and I lived so close by, her parents house became my second home. Generous of spirit and a natural home-maker. Time reduced us to Christmas card friends though I often think of her still...

44:365 Jacqui...

... is like a champagne hand-grenade. She explodes with personality. Promises wild excitement, delivered with panache. She's loyal, generous and a force of nature. Caught in her slipstream just buckle up and enjoy the ride...
