Update

About 18 months have passed while I cared for supported, and generally assisted my mother, a labor of love for us both.

Not a labour at all really; it was a priviledge.
We drew very close and spent her last weeks wisely.

This blog needs updating and I will be doing that shortly.

Update

I haven't been here for a while - given the passing of my mother.

I have just finished reading Ken Follet's 'The Pillars of the Earth'.

I didn't really enjoy it - though I was lured to it by hearing the author speak.

The building of the Cathedral was interesting, however the on going battle between
good and evil, represented by various persons, became predictable. Not to mention tedious.

The bad guys were so incredibly dense that they never recognised that they would be out

manoeuvred by Father Phillip every single time.
