I reckon Cuba is going to be worth visiting for about another 18 months. Then it'll be as Cuban as the Costa del Sol is Spanish.

And back in real life, many condolences, Z (N) Where do you think these things up, you got some secret google page that invents bad puns? Off to Cuba on Monday morning Its been touch and go about when my mum died and when the funeral would be. Got the funeral booked with one working day spare! Its been pretty hectic, like being back at work again with a project deadline to deliver.

Yer, having put it off once, me n the missus reckoned this was our last chance to get there before McDonalds and Starbucks. Edit, the Yanks probably think they sound mexican so a Taco Bell should appear first.

Off to Cuba on Monday morning Its been touch and go about when my mum died and when the funeral would be. Got the funeral booked with one working day spare! Its been pretty hectic, like being back at work again with a project deadline to deliver. In all seriousness, I think your Mum outlived your Dad. If so, it really is a landmark, and one that may not hit you immediately, but may well do somewhere down the line. Losing both parents really is a change point. When my Dad, who was last to go, died, I didn't have time to think about it for a couple of years, and then I realised I missed my parents dreadfully. Still do from time to time. So, with all sincerity, I wish you luck, and do take time to remember them with fondness - you will miss them. Best wishes for the morrow (?) I was out walking with an ex-work colleague last week. Since he retired (well after me) he's thrown himself into all sorts of things with commitments and deadlines. I've spent much of my working life delivering really difficult "stuff" to deadlines (either my own or others'). The one thing I really enjoy about my retirement is the luxury of not having others' deadlines, and/or being completely able to ignore most of my own if I want to.

Wise and compassionate words, T&E. There's a lot said these days at the end of a life about 'celebrating the life' rather than mourning the death. While there's some sense in that - we feel the loss because something good and important preceded it - the loss is still real, and doesn't get less so for refusing to recognize it. It's OK for it not to be OK, at least for a while.

Mild winter guaranteed. Winter wheels and tyres are on, insulating strip renewed at the bottom of the front door and it's now forecast for 15C going into November with overnight lows between 5 and 6 Celsius. You can thank me in March.
