Getting out of my comfort zone

Oh Gill, so sorry to hear about your mum. Huge hugs xx

Gill, hope all the red tape/legalese goes well today.

Your mum was involved in getting the papers about the child migrants released? Thats really something - an uncle of mine was a child migrant, its why I have Zimbabwean relatives - some time in the future, it would be lovely to hear about your mum's work on that, if it isn't too painful.

Hi Gill - savingholmes here - locked out of my account. It is bound to take a while for your head to get back together - hope work are being supportive

Well today is finally over. Some biggish hurdles dealt with - clambered over with help, rather than at a gallop, but we got there. We've also done some visiting of ageing rellies.

KC - there is tons of stuff about the Child Migrants - all in an archive box. I also need to track down a copy of the book. She was also involved with Tommy Steele in getting the Eleanor Rigby statue made and situated in Liverpool.

Amazing the stuff you take for granted - apparently they are flying the flag on Liverpool Town Hall at half mast!

That is so nice and what a nice touch that she is remembered like that.

Glad you are getting a bit more sleep

Had to smile about your Danny Boy statement

Take care - will do coffee when you have time

It all has to be done, doesn't it ... glad you dealt with it all.

Oh my word! She was a real activist!

Thanks to all

your thoughts mean a lot. I am managing to deal with the officialdom, they are always very matter of fact and make it easier. I think the thing that is hardest to deal with is the devastation of her friends and ex-colleagues.

Because of the bank holiday, we are now in a limbo period until the funeral, so that doesn't help.

I will be back, with a more positive attitude.
