Thanks for commiserations re Aged Ps. They're 87 and 92 (93 in March) and 65th Wedding Anniversary due the day before the 93rd birthday (Her Maj is aware and has been to the PO for a stamp). They're together in a lovely little care home where they are looked after with love and skill and have survived much longer than the company who sold their annuities to cover their lifelong care ever thought they would LOL!!!
Thing is we were told 3 weeks ago that Pa had a day or so left, or at the most 3 weeks. Then Ma had a fall (trying to be independent) and was rushed to A&E but fortunately no bones broken and she doesn't remember it now anyway. While she was in A&E my fantastic son spent the day with his Grandpa with his laptop, showing him pictures of Wellingtons and Liberators (he was in RAF in WW2) and Fordson Major tractors (he was a farmer). Well, Pa enjoyed that so much he rallied .... GP is astonished and Pa says he's disappointed, he'd been ready to go. Anyway, they're both a lot better now so we've cut back a bit on the visiting, but on the other hand, at almost 97 and 88 ....

I like to write shopping lists and forget those much to OHs annoyance
Must look for snowdrop walk opportunities.
