So farewell, then . . .

Thor Heyerdahl and Damon Knight - the late, in both cases.

Nicholas Hoogstratten is on trial at the Old Bailey. He's facing murder charges.
Carter mentioned him, of course. You may have heard of
him under other, happier circumstances.

My room has most of a ceiling. Which is nice.

I've just found someone else who's heard of Ximena's granddad.

That would be me then.

I'm still not sure I didn't find it whilst surfing through your friends list, therefore making this a bit circular. I'm trying to remember where I read it but I had a *really* dull couple of days at work at the start of the week and left few journals unturned.

I found a copy of his obituary online last night, but it's in Spanish. It's the same obit the Guardian published - I remember the author - but babelfish renders his name as Augusto Turfs, which is a bit strange. The English version isn't on the Grauniad's website, unfortunately.

I did mention him, though. Back in October. So it might have been mine.

Aha! Yes, that's where I read it. I was playing catch up after realising I found your journal long after you started keeping it.

So I heard about him from you. It is circular.

Turfs, I love it! That's a fairly accurate translation actually; "cesped" means lawn, I guess it could mean turf or maybe even sod. "Cespedes" of course is the plural.
