The worry about the virus just added to the pressure but it all went to plan with no dramas so it's good.

@JudyEv My apologies...I quoted out of context. But my heart really bleeds for the husband. He must be missing his beloved very much. We, men, may appear tough externally, but internally we aren't half as tough as women - and don't ask me how I know it - I am a man too.

@amirev777 The husband had such a lot to organise and some of the family don't see a lot of each other or see eye to eye when they do meet so we were very pleased that the day went off as well as it did.

Thanks. Yes, it is a lot really. As well as the wake, we had to provide an evening meal then breakfast next morning. We did enjoy having them to stay but it was quite a bit of work.

Hopefully it won't take me quite that long.

But I can understand that after a wedding it could take quite some time.

Thanks. We made use of so much stuff that mostly only comes out for concerts so it wasn't too bad. There is always a lot of cleaning after in a way. I've washed four sets of sheets and four tablecloths. The weather is a bit iffy so I used the dryer but now I'm going to need to iron them all. Usually I don't iron the sheets but they're really crumpled.

We are allowed to gather in groups now. We did maintain distance though not so much at the house. There was sanitiser at every door and we felt quite safe really.

Thanks. She talked us into having celebrations when we turned 70 because she said by the next 'big one' (75, 80), anything could happen, either to yourself or to your friends. She wasn't far wrong.
