Sitting listening to The Associates (Sulk), and thinking about my brother (he’s a big fan of Billy Mackenzie), wondering once again where he is and what he’s up to… Haven’t heard from him since, oh, the last time I posted about it all here back at the end of the summer, start of September maybe? Nothing except a Christmas card that pretty much said ‘hello’ and nothing else, which is fine of course, if only it was a punctuation mark instead of a whole paragraph/chapter in the story of our communications. His work email has been bouncing back since October, and all messages left on his mobile answerphone have gone ignored. And now his mobile phone is not connecting at all, and I’m fretting and thinking all kinds of dark thoughts, which perhaps says more about me than about him, but there you are. Not even sure then if he is still employed at his old job, although when phoning them a moment ago I at least did get put through to an extension. That it was another answerphone, and not his voice or name on the end didn’t assuage my fears particularly…

Part of me thinks, hell, I’m sure he has his reasons for cutting all connections to his family. They’re probably very valid reasons too, it’s just it would be good to at least know what they were.

Sorry, this is probably not the kind of thing I should be posting here, and I need to stop because my head hurts and my eyes are sore.

It’s not snowing.
