not as bad

Last week's 2-year anniversary passed less sadly than I was anticipating (as these things often do).  A and I met some friends in London's Chinatown for Chinese New Year: crowds, firecrackers, dragons, food, sake (we cheated a little) and (because Chinatown is handily close) book shopping here.  It was just what was needed.


(And what is not to love about the strict instructions on the back of the firecracker box):

  2. I am so glad that the day passed for you and that you are ok. I often find the anticipation is worse than the event. Either way, you are surrounded by many sad anniversaries.
    Thank you for all of your support this week (and always). You are such a sweet friend.

  5. I am relieved that you had a good time in spite of the sad memories. Those firecracker warnings make me wonder about human stupidity. You never know what others have tried before.
