Yes it was, bleak as hell. I received a call from Marcus Durbridge today at work who is Margaret's former beau's, Henry Arbuthnot's former colleague (there are too many 'formers' in there for my liking!) Anyway, he asked whether I'd heard the news? Apparently Arbuthnot's lifeless body was found floating in The Thames, according to the post mortem he'd been dead for a week or so. Nobody seems to know the circumstances surrounding his disappearance and subsequent death but there's a possible MI5 Spooks angle which I guess, but its very nature, is very 'hush hush'.
Coming over to tell Margaret was dreadful, I accompanied her home but that's not a safe place to be either because the subsidence is really kicking in. I've now put her up in my spare room, it's quite nice really and Seb and I could do with the company. I'll keep you posted.
