If I had to guess what was in the boxes, I would never have guessed diesel. I’m still not sure I believe you. I’m imagining your boat sinker deeper and deeper into the canal, as each box of ‘diesel’ is loaded and as each box is emptied, your boat rises. Of course, that won’t happen. I think.

Good luck with the mole xx

first, i had pause for a moment to think about who i would open my legs for... okay, back now and i'm not sharing-haha

okay, as one of those annoying people who says "the kindest thing you can do to take care of your loved ones is do your advance directive and estate planning ahead of time, and then revisit the conversation (and update as needed) periodically," thank you for this post. most folks don't like to ponder their mortality and a bit of humor goes a long way. personally, i'm all for wrapping me in a shroud and putting me in the ground. very natural.

and i hope the headache has abated and the mole is a minor inconvenience.

Oh Katy I got excited for minute. I thought you had got a secret publishing deal. I had stepped away from Substack as I was a bit pissed off with all the Big names that kept popping up. But then I thought of you and how much I enjoy your posts So I'm back and it is great be able to catch up on all your writing

Love and relate to the No mental health in the 80's . So many secrets kept.

Ha! A funeral in the manner of Glastonbury sounds fun. Though, as you say, you wouldn’t be in a fit state to enjoy it.

Yes to sorting out wills and powers of attorney. A faff, but a lot less faff down the line.

Really entertaining read, thanks, Katy. Hope you get chance for a catch-up nap today!
