Finished watching Leonard and Hungry Paul this evening and it was such a beautifully told story of friendship, love, grief, family and quirkiness, told with warmth and humour (narrated by Julia Roberts no less!). Watch if you can: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Grief is weird. Something as mundane as the smell of vegetable soup drifting into the street from someone's house can suddenly make you miss someone so intensely your heart aches.
