I'm still staying with Eleanor, she's a treasure during such a difficult time, despite bunging up her Dyson with a large sock earlier rendering it useless for cleaning. I have made a decision: I'll return to work tomorrow, there's no point mooning about, life goes on and there's plenty to be done. Wilf visited earlier - he's very sweet and explained that Mr A's parents could claim some of the money they paid out for the memorial service back against the cost of his funeral, it's a bit like a 'buy one memorial service, get a funeral half price' wierd, but true. Mr A senior worked for one of the large insurance firms for many years and is an expert in such matters.
I heard from Father, apparently the house subsidence is getting worse and it looks as if we'll all be forced to move out soon. Apparently he can't help being a human earthworm and has formed his own online support group 'HumanEarthwormsAnon' with inclusive 12-step programme. So far he's attracted 56 hits and one request for membership. He's thinking ahead and plans to hold an awayday in a large vivarium in Swindon but I said that he'd have to think about the practical aspects first, especially as earthworms tend to be hermaphrodites, which could compromise the toilet arranagements somewhat.
