Start of another week -- caught up with Mum yesterday. She's much the same, hasn't heard from Ian or Geraldine this last week. Is hoping to get another shot in her knee to help with the arthritic pain.

Marie Cole died last week after battling lung cancer. Funeral is on Thursday afternoon.

Haven't heard yet from Brent or Simon B, but did have an email from Greg R today with a review of Brian Magee's autobiography. Just heard that Greg is going to London next April for work -- lucky him.
