Funeral on Friday. Brought the ashes back home today. Things are fairly complex with the process of probate to go through. Our solicitor (in Honiton) has obtained the will from Mum's solicitor, so things are progressing. We've got to have Mum's bungalow valued for probate and then probably we'll sell it. I met two estate agents today and they made hopeful noises about the market. We finished going through her things this weekend and the house is now empty. It still needs cleaning, but the largest part of the job is now complete. Judi, my sister seemed a lot better this weekend. She and Mum were very close and Mum's death was a great blow to her (as it was to me). I only saw Mum every six to eight weeks but Judi saw her every day and so not seeing her at all now is more difficult to adjust to. I'm going back to work tomorrow, so things should return to more or less normal until next weekend when we have another church service at Mum's old church in Haddenham to attend.

Ewan's first tooth appeared this morning. Explains why the poor little lad's not sleeping too well at the moment.
