The month of May ended sombrely, with the death of my mum’s brother, my uncle. He died peacefully at home, at the age of 62. He was a pretty amazing guy, who kept going in spite of recent medical circumstances. He headed up the Corrymeela community on Northern Ireland’s north coast for the last 7 years.

Prior to the shock of the above, this month had seen the end of my time as an undergraduate at Glasgow Uni, and additionally the start of many partings of ways. Colin & Eryn and the kids are back off to Canada, other friends are heading back to Northern Ireland to work, others to England and others are getting married.

Other minor things from this month included managing to swindle my way to go see Flight of the Conchords in the Clyde Auditorium, which was an entertaining Friday night out. Additionally there were many nights at various friends houses playing various ridiculous games and going by a new nickname of “Archie”.  And when the weather was good, also managed to bag a Munro (Ben Lomond) and take a splash in Loch Lomond, before heading to Edinburgh to catch up with a friend and my cousin before the sad news filtered through.

And that was May.
