I know!
I've been such a bad blogger this week!
I've just not been in the mood to do it at all, I'm sorry.
So Monday was Dad's birthday and Mum wanted to go out for a meal to celebrate, so we hit the motorway (not her favourite place in the world) only for her to get jelly legs after a little while so we ended up in Bluewater eating KFC! Somehow I think Dad'd have found that funny, or he'd have moaned at our lack of adventureness!
Tuesday was a bit of a tough day, we went and organised a funeral, its booked for the 23rd (ages away! who'd have believed that a crematorium would be fully booked?)
It's gonna be fun, we're gonna have a huge party afterwards too in a pub near to where Mum works and there's gonna be over 50 of us there.
We organised songs too, Mum wants us to come into Endless Love which is "their" song apparently, and then First Time I Ever Saw Your Face, as she says the first time she saw my Dad falling out of a pub was the minute she knew he was the one for her.
And on a brighter note to cheer up that depressing and soppy lot we have one of my Dad's most favouritest songs ever to go down to.
Always Look on The Bright Side Of Life, which IS Dad.
And that's that, No flowers, only donations to the places and charities that have helped us, the volunteer drivers from the local hospital, Macmillian Nurses, and the Hospice.
And that's that. I've been overwhelmed by the cards and phonecalls that have come and your kind messages.
Thank you all.

You bet. That's why we are here. To support each other in good times and bad, it's almost a marriage.
It sounds like it will be a good time. (That always sounds strange when talking about a funeral, but I've been to some bad funerals.)
Don't berate yourself for being a bad blogger. You do it when you feel like it. Don't worry about us, you look after yourself.
That said it's good to see you back - and good to see you over on Cheer-up Alan Shearer too.
charby i will be thinking of you.
