Busy day. Left just after nine and drove over to Rainham. I met Aunty Eve's neighbour, Marion, and collected the last bits from the house. Turns out to be cases of slides, a projector and a screen. I foresee a viewing event this weekend - I have NO IDEA what's on the slides so it's going to be a bit of a mystery tour :)
From Marion's, I scampered over to Gillingham and met with Eve's executor solicitor chap. Everything is very close to completion, most of the bequests have been paid now and they're just waiting on the last of the utility bills from the house to be settled. He will, however, transfer a lump sum into my account as soon as possible.
From there, I headed straight back home - I did consider stopping in and seeing Eve's friend Jo, but it was lunchtime and I knew she'd insist on feeding me. Given that she's in her 80's, it felt like it'd be an imposition. I'll call her this weekend and I'll take her out to lunch one weekend soon. Got back home ok, and then toppled over into a long nap. I was a bit surprised I was so knackered but then I realised I'd driven over 120 miles in 5 hours and that it was the longest I'd driven at all since last summer. So yeh, not really such a surprise.
Woke up and was foiled in my internetting attempts by a dodgy connection which appears *touches wood* to have settled down now. It had better..*eyes it crossly*. Just cooked a ginormous pork chop for my tea, which I topped with a cheese, breadcrumb and mustard crumble type topping. Verrry nice. Prolly would have been even nicer if I hadn't managed to set it alight during the cooking process. There were actual flames! I can't wait to get a new cooker with a decent grill, this one doesn't seem to understand the concept of "medium heat". But the chop was ok and the noodles were tasty so it wasn't a complete loss. And the topping was very nice, I shall be doing that again.
And now there's Numb3rs on TV, to be followed by stuff I've downloaded this week and not watched yet, like Private Practice and Criminal Minds :)
