It hasn't been the easiest of days and to be fair I think Mum coped better than I did in the end. Being around all kinds of 'strange' people at the wake just about did for me... I really don't do people at all... 
...people in large numbers and confined spaces just freak me out these days. 
Still that's all over now thank goodness and Mum's resting... my brother's looking after her this evening, so I've got the rest of the day off and have every intention of having a large gin or several and just festering here this evening.
Tomorrow we've got a few things to sort out in the morning and I'm hoping the weather will be drier than it has been today so I can whisk Mum off somewhere nice for a bit of fresh air and some lunch. Later in the day we'll get Mum all packed up then there'll be a 'family' meal early evening.
Thursday morning I'll be ferrying Mum and brother to the airport so he can take her back to Spain with him, where he chooses to reside these days, for some rest and recuperation.
So, those are my plans for the next couple of days. 
I think it's time for the first of those gins now, while I catch up on some mail and read through your blogs...

I found that when it's a funeral ... folk don't really expect you to be a host, looking after them etc. They all talk to each other and let you cope in peace. (well they did with me)
I don't do people either.
Sounds like a plan for your mum. Best thing to do.

Yip. Good idea for you. I'll toast your health tonight, Usky xxx
