    For those not on fb, sadly my mum died on Friday. Her TAVI heart valve op went really well, and they were very happy that it was all good, but she had a sudden turn on Friday - they think there was a bleed somewhere (perhaps not heart related even) but it all overwhelmed and they could not revive her. Feeling a bit numb at the mo, but OK. TCD's advice of "stay the right side of hammered" has so far stood me in good stead - he didn't specify which side the right side is! Appreciate the support from you guys through the ups and downs of aging and confused parents - despite my moans, I loved her a lot, and she will leave a big gap. Next few weeks looking hectic - have a feeling today (can't do anything before the coroner does their stuff) is the calm before the storm - or hurricane when super-efficient sister hits from Oz in a week or so!

          For some reason, I feel like watching Friends for the first time in several years

          Now, where have I put that box set…

            ms#4 is permanently tuned to the comedy channel. Up till two years ago, I'd never seen Friends. Now I've probably seen most of the episodes 15 times. Although I suspect there are still some I've never seen.

              There's only 236 of them, meaning you can get through the lot in just under 34 weeks at one per day

                When she's home, there's about 10 per day. Or it seems like it.

                  23.6 days and you've seen the lot, then
