Very sad news for Brian and family. When Karen and I visited him in
(his) summer a year and a half ago, he seemed well settled there.
And very sad, too, about Rosie. Our first sight of Brian in person was
when we dropped by the street fair in Clyde, and there was Brian
standing beside his display of photographs, holding Rosie.

Brian has had a bit of bad luck and will be incommunicado for a bit. I’ve just
seen this message to me on FB:
This is from Brian Swale <https://www.facebook.com/brian.swale>, to my facebook
friends. I and my family have had something of a major disaster.
Firstly, on Sunday morning( just yesterday) our house suffered a major fire.
All people OK, rabbit and cat OK; but just 2 hours ago I disicovered the body
of our little Rosie dog where she was trapped behind the upstairs bedroom door.
She would not have suffered long; I gather smoke inhalation would have killed
her inside 4 minutes. I have lost a dear little friend who thought the world of
me.
All my books, about 3000 of them, are burned. Both my computers and including
backup drives, were incinerated. E-1 and E-3 are toast. Many OM lenses and
maybe my digital macro lenses, are serviceable. Will know tomorrow.
The top floor will be removed and the bottom floor will be deconstructed back
to what is sound. We are well insured.
May I ask a favour of Christopher Macdonald Barker? Chris, I have lost my
access to the Zuikoholic group. Can you please tell them.
At the moment and for some time in the future I will not be able to receive e-mail on my
brianswale.com

site. Mail will have to be to bj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, but not for a wile as I must create spaces,
and in anyway for the time being I have no internet access.
