There are witches among us.
As Halloween grows near, it seems the right time to talk
about power and spells, although this is not about cackling and cauldrons.

Happy birthday dad...
Today would have
been my dad’s 82nd birthday.
It’s been 21
years since I was able to celebrate his birthday with him in person, and even
then, on his 61st birthday, I would have been away at uni. I hope I
remembered to call him, I think I did, even at that stage I knew his health was
bad and I feared losing him. Every time the phone rang early or late at night
my heart skipped a beat, desperately hoping it wasn’t the call I feared. When
that call did come, at 8.30 am on 9 February 1993, I had been deeply asleep,
and my only thought was crankiness that I’d overslept and would be late for my
meeting with my honours-degree supervisor. I never made that meeting.
