One Of Terry's Corners Of the Online World

Looks like I'm on the ebb tide of this cold that's been hanging around for five days. Sore throat and sore sinuses aren't sore any more but I do seem to be a major producer of mucus right now. I still have some insomnia which I've used to watch this series of Japanese jidaigeki movies. Very weird and silly but great politically and sexually incorrect fun. I must remember to lend them to Jamie WNLJ...

So at this stage we're driving up to the ACT on Thursday for the funeral at Friday noon. I hope my brother doesn't ask me to speak. Nothing I would say would offer anyone any comfort, so I'll decline. This makes me the oldest living male member of my direct family - the clan patriarch. And don't think that that thought doesn't freak me out a little. What a shame that a rambling family estate doesn't come with the deal. I could hunt grouse, chase chambermaids and pontificate in front of a large open fireplace rather than a small laptop.
