To do list

  I realised when I got home this afternoon that I had better write a to do list of all the things I need to attend to.  Most of it is just dull stuff, bills and so on, but if I write it down it will be dealt with more quickly.
  One of my favourite photographs of my mum shows her with a pen clipped on to her t shirt.  She used to write to do lists all the time, and as the Parkinson's disease became worse the lists became shorter, more repetitive and more heart breaking.
