Up just before 7...

...and, apart from a couple of hours rehearsing for Saturday, almost the entire day was taken up with preparations for my mum's funeral, including looking through photos of my mum from across the years to create the 4:36 pictorial tribute to be accompanied by Frank Sinatra's "My Way" next Thursday...

Looking through all my photos on the hard drives since 2005, I was amazed by the number of times she was in hospital, the fact that she spent almost her entire time sitting in her chair (ok I wasn't so amazed by that), how seldom she actually ventured forth from her house and just how badly downhill she went on entering hospital last October until her eventual discharge at the end of May, after which the ability to move under her own steam had gone...

Anyway...

Onwards...

Oh, also discovered some new music...

Lights out...
