Yesterday and forever ago. But we’ll call it thirty years.
Thinking of you, Brian Bradley Brenda Yardley King on this, your anniversary. I don’t know where the time went. I don’t know where you went. I don’t know where that laugh went..

Astonishingly, tomorrow will be the 30th anniversary of my friend Brian King’s death. And coincidentally, I’ve just listened to this for the first time, about #HIV and #AIDS in #Liverpool in the 80s, including stories told about Brian by me and Gerry Potter podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/w...

Happy Birthday Again to my mum!
You may have thought it was her birthday yesterday. And so did she. She always celebrated it on the 30th. And then she picked up her birth certificate to get married and it said 31st.

Happy Birthday Monica! My lovely Mum would have been 84 today*.
Here she is as a mature student at the University of Liverpool. She left school at 15 having been told that even if she got into art college she couldn’t go as the family needed her wage.
