One more thing about the lunch, H talked at length about the film 'The Swimmer' that he'd watched again after many years. It is about a guy, Ned, (Burt Lancaster) who decides to swim 'home' by running betweeen the swimming pools of the various people that he knows, swimming in their pools and running on to the next. At each pool he talks to his friends (sometimes there is a barbque party going on), but as the film progresses it get more and more hostile, it seems that Ned has been left by his wife, and children, he lost his job, he owes money to all and sundry, and people don't like him. He reaches home and it turns out to be an abandoned house. H was saying it was the most painful movie to watch. It is all about loss.

Another thing. H is staying somewhere in town, I don't think he could have made the last bus back up after his appointment and also I tried to contact him at home by phone this evening and he wasn't picking up. But he didn't mention anything to me about it. He may well just be staying with friends... (Bad Livnlearn, don't speculate!!)
