The first draft of the Order of Service from my elder brother is sitting in my inbox this morning, so my first task of the day is to check it over. I make some notes about the changes that are required and email them to my brother so that he will see them when he gets up (he’s on Nova Scotia time), and then take the dog for her morning walk before driving to North Walsham to buy some card on which to print the Order of Service. Unfortunately, the stationery store in North Walsham has very limited stock, and doesn’t have what I’m looking for, so I’ll have to go further afield (tomorrow).
I received an email from the lady who is officiating at mum’s funeral with details for the Order of Service, so I review them and send copies to both of my brothers (for approval).
I deal with members of the family who had agreed to read some poems at the service, but have now decided that they will be unable to do so (having had unsuccessful private rehearsals), and with those who have volunteered to fill their shoes.
I walk the dog (again) and vacuum downstairs before getting stuck back into organising mum’s funeral. It’s now almost midnight, and I have just sent the final changes to the Order of Service to my elder brother. Time for bed!
