Tis a sad day today…
Richard Briers, small screen legend and Shakespearean actor
has gone to join that big theatre in the sky.
The very young receptionist where I work said to me ‘who’s
he?’
‘He was in The Good Life with Felicity Kendall’ I replied.
‘The Good what…..?’
I would have thought that even if she’d never seen it she
might at least have heard about it.
He was in that other very funny sitcom ‘Ever Decreasing
Cirlces’ She’d never heard of that one either.
Oh dear, is that showing my age that this youngster, young
enough to be one of my grandees, hasn’t heard of him or the programmes he was
in.
Then at lunch time when I was checking out the news from New
Zealand on the NZ Herald website there was the awful announcement that Kevin
Black, well known radio personality has died suddenly.
Blackie, master of the Solid Gold airwaves, deviser of
pranks and all round good guy is no more. Taken from his family by a heart
attack. He will be sadly missed.
Then, there I was minding the store just after lunch and one
of the young physio’s comes in looking a bit down. When I ask her what’s up she
tell me that her grandfather had died that morning. Not totally unexpected, but
a body blow none the less.
So to all of you I say, make the most of the life you have,
you just never know what’s around the corner…..
