The curry sauce is plopping away. We're having an old favourite today - chicken curry pancakes. We're off to do the big shop this afternoon so it will be nice to have something that just needs a quick warm-up later.
At last we've found out when our second funeral is. So we now have one at the beginning of next week & one at the end with a few days in between to recover a bit. Now all I need to do is try to find some accommodation down in Stoke. Aunt Ivy's funeral is in the morning which means we would have to leave here before 8am to get there in time. We're hoping instead to go down the day before & stay somewhere. It would be less tiring & stressful for me if we can.
The phone calls are continuing. Some about one funeral, some about the other. It's hard to get away from death at the moment. Inevitably our thoughts are with those who've recently died & their families. Inevitably memories of good times come pouring in. When we go to the Pub, conversation always seems to come back to MK & do you remember this. Equally as cousins ring memories are brought up, not just of Aunt Ivy, but of other family members who have died & experiences shared with them. I can see Ivy's funeral is going to be a big family get-together. We only seem to do this at funerals. It seems a pity we can't do it for some cheerier reason.
