Wednesday 17th January

OMG! I cannot believe we're over halfway through January already! My dear mum is off to Portugal tomorrow -- lucky thing! What would I give to get some sunshine!
We had Geoff's brother's funeral on Monday -- it left me with nothing, spiritually. There were no hymns or anything & they'd dragged out this priest who no-one knew but someone Bob knew did. This guy was bursting out of his hassock [which could have done with a good clean] & pronounced that he didn't know Bob but a lot of people did... I originally thought that it was going to be a Humanist Funeral ( a mixture of music, prayers, readings, poems, testimonies etc) but it wasn't. I was really proud of Geoff being a pall-bearer.
