Notes: 28th Nov-7th Dec

Obviously, a lot of things did happen in between: 28th November up to 7th December which I did not record here.

These things included...

- Registering the death/obtaining 3 copies of the Death Certificate.

- Contacting the Funeral Directors, Yeatman's/(who also arranged my aunts funeral)

- Sending in 2 green forms to the Funeral Directors...so that they can go and collect my mum's body from Lewisham Hospital morgue; and, embalm it.

- Getting an affidavit form to sign by a lawyer...which gives permission for the grave to be touched...as there are two large 30 to 40 foot trees growing there which will need to be cut down before any funeral can take place.

- Going to visit the Allen Head's pub...at the corner of West Norwood Cemetary...Robson Road...where I met a fellow Paxton Green Time Bank member called, Rob...says he is a PGTB Trustee...I think, he runs that particular pub. We arranged, later on, to call him back...and, have The Wake there...as opposed to choosing any other local pub: The Rosendale/North Wood/-etc.

-etc.

I have stayed both here at home...and, also, gone and slept for a number of nights inside of my cousin Sharon's house(met there new cat: Geoffrey).

I much prefer staying inside of my own home...;which is, mainly, because that's what I'm most used to doing; also, I feel a hell of a lot more comfortable sleeping in of my own bed...rather than anybody else's. My cousins are very warm, friendly, and, polite...and, I'm sure, are really 'good minded' towards me...furthermore, I get along extremely well with their 3 children; but, I myself do feel I've been imposing myself on them, quite unnecessarily. An awful lot of things I'm capable of doing on my own. However, I do very deeply appreciate all of the help they have given me.

At one point we -me/and, Sharon- went and visited Millicent and Trevor inside of their home; and, we had a long conversation about my mum's death. I can't remember now exactly what day that was...maybe, last Friday/Saturday evening.

I went and visited the grave, I believe, it was Saturday 6th Dec 2019; to take photos...as proof...before anyone does any further work on it...taking close up/medium/and, long range shots...around 100+ photos altogether...on my iPad. I also stopped there to say a prayer or two; and, have a chat with my aunt who already lies there.

In fact, a lot of things I seem to have forgotten...just too many things been happening together, all at once...that's why I didn't choose to write about them.
