Yes, I know exactly what you mean, both about wondering why and feeling nostalgic. But, then I reckon we tie up memories and meaning into everything so then objects such as books and letters, etc hold as much meaning as the person/experience we're remembering.

That would be great! We'll be busy as I have to do some stuff with my house, get into my storage and, yes, see plenty of people. But, I'd love to hang out. Where are you exactly? I'll be at my house in Roslindale for the most part.
