Nearly time for a Milo

The evening is fast becoming night-time and therefore nearly time for a Milo. I have a lovely pic of my Mum-in-law Monnie beside my computer. It was taken at her 90th birthday last year.

The funeral was on Thursday, and it brought many family members together. The weather was fine, but very cold. Many words spoken about Mum's faith and belief in people and her boundless love. I managed to stand and read my small eulogy (with Peter beside me) and felt good about doing it.

Today we visited Dad, then went for a visit to the graveside in the sunshine.
Mixed feelings there, having Mum in a grave - so different from being able to spread/place my parents' ashes in places they loved. Saw a doco tonight about Orkney, and the amazing archaeological dig there. So much to think about. Neil Oliver presented the program, and we were truly transfixed.

Now, for that Milo...
