when i was moving josiah's stuff out of her flat to put in my room for awhile i kind of knew it would take her a long time to sort it out to come get it...

for a long time her best friend S (witchy godmother to grace) was going to take it down there and pick up the cot that grace used to sleep in when they lived round the corner, the cot is witchy's, her kids had it and i think they want to keep it for future generations...

anyway it never happened, every time i asked her about it she would sound slightly annoyed and i gave up asking...

josiah knows someone down in brighton who is super organised (goes by the name of R) and R is the one who is even now driving through south london with josiah & grace in tow to get the stuff...

it's been here 8 months more or less, it was last july, reading through that post that i link to above i remember what it was like, hot, walking backwards and forwards between her flat and my house, cathartic, emptying the flat where she'd lived so much of her life... and all of grace's life...

and now they've got their place sorted down in brighton and that is there life...

i'm looking forward to playing with this magnetic theatre with grace, i bought it the other day from oxfam... my G says she had one when she was a kid... my G, now surely she should have a pseudonym....?
