A blank-mind morning where I am not really thinking about anything at all. Yesterday I had thought I would visit town as there were two things I wanted to do – or three if you count picking up a loaf of bread and perhaps some veg from the market. I wanted to pop into Co-operative Funeralcare to see if there was a convenient time for me to accompany my mother to confirm the particulars of her funeral plan. The other thing was to visit the pub in the hope of seeing Straw, who is usually there on a Monday. Partly to thank him for the novel he gave me but also to discuss medieval celtic history, the time in which the novel is set.
