My mother

[lethargic_man]

My mother is in the last few hours of her life. Those of you who were considering coming to the funeral or shiva, please start considering logistics now. Please also do not contact me right now with messages of sympathy or support: I'm in Berlin, and don't have time to deal with it, as I am going to have my hands full figuring out the logistics of getting myself to Newcastle as soon as possible (preferably picking up the stuff for the purpose that I've got in my flat at the same time). (I've also barely had a chance to catch up online since before Shabbos, so you'll excuse me if I haven't responded to your own important news.)

Logistics: I'm currently in Cambridge, can be in Newcastle for Sunday evening but probably not any sooner than that. I assume you'll be able to post details of time and place once you have them; if I can't make the funeral itself I'll try to come to the first or second day of shiva.

My father wants the funeral to be tomorrow, and my uncle told me he was upset when he heard I wouldn't be able to make it (this was before I discovered I could); I'm paying an arm and a leg to get there in time for that. Will obviously post details in due course.
