The many and various ways I pass the time now has a new addition. Usually it involves drinking coffee whilst sitting at a computer keeping in touch with chums, or sipping wine sitting on our tiny terrace catching the sun, and wondering what else I can do to avoid any cleaning or tidying or putting away of stuff and things that aren't even MINE.

      Thank you, Big Sis. It was a good death, after many years of debilitating dementia which she bore so bravely.

      You are so right, Laura Lee. We have been retelling our favourite stories about her, and one minute we are laughing, the next we are in tears. One day we will remember without tears, but not yet awhile. Thanks so much for your supportive comments.

      That was on her 93rd birthday, Susan, about six months before she needed to move into residential care. Thank you for your kind thoughts.
