Death and disease

So, for the past nine days I've been housebound - and often bed-bound - with swine flu. I haven't been this sick for about 15 years. Blah.

But being sick pales into comparison with the news that my very dear friend Jack O'Loughlin was hit and killed by a car while walking to work at 6.30pm on Thursday morning. The above photos were taken at his wedding to Dee only two months ago.

RIP big feller. I'll miss you more than words can say.
