R.I.P. Joe Cocker

Joe Cocker has died.

How sad is that!!

“You are so beautiful” was my song for Alex.

From as far back as my kids can remember I would break into song after sneaking up on him and grabbing him around the waist. He only jumped the first hundred or so times but after that he became accustomed to this display of affection. I can still see Sam and Ruby’s faces full of happiness each and every time I caught Alex off guard. By the time they were teenagers I am sure they were well and truly immune to it. Thanks kids.

It could be anywhere, in the house, Fruit Stall, Orchard or on the waterfront in Queenstown. Sorry Alex, the last one did embarrass you but the tourists all smiled and took photos.
