The funeral director dropped off Mum's ashes an hour or so. I was holding it together until he gave me the cask and said 'I have put Mum in there'. My face is a bit puffy right now. Thankfully I don't have any video calls for a while!

@Simonablake Oh Simon, it's so hard isn't it. My funeral director called a few weeks ago with: "I've got mum back from the crematorium." I was very confused for a moment and said, 'I thought she'd been cremated!' Have you got any plans for them? Gentle hugs to you.

@torbayview Some are being scattered here on her birthday. Some Dad wants to keep so they can be scattered here together when he dies 💚

@sarahbunny19 I wasn’t expecting him either, so it was all sorts of not prepped that knocked me. Solidarity. Take care x

@KeithWinestein Thanks Keith. Your name came up in an unexpected context today and I was reminded of you, World Aids Day/NAT and the research done by Egg Research a very long time ago. 1997/8
