    Well, that went well.

    Halfway through the meal there was a ring at the bell. It was someone come to tell us that a mutual friend had just been found dead in his flat

    He must have been in his mid-forties by now. He had type 1 diabetes and had lost a lot of his sight to macular degeneration over the last twenty years or so. In fact, he's one of the reasons I take accessibility on the web so seriously.

    I hadn't seen him so much over the last six years or so since DMU knocked down the pub. I knew he'd had various health problems, mainly related to a combination of his diabetes and a resentment of it that caused him to be neglectful of his health from time to time. But over the last few years he's been a bit more careful.

    He'd recently been in hospital due to kidney problems and complications arising therefrom. He improved and was discharged last week, and had gone home, and had various friends living nearby who were checking on him, helping with shopping, and so forth. Today they couldn't get in touch with him, so somebody who had a key went round, and found he'd died in his sleep overnight
