I Survived The Shopping Mall

Surprisingly today Saturday morning shopping was quiet.  I achieved buying gifts that need to be posted and it wasn't an unpleasant experience  and I didn't mutter consumer culture under my breath.  
Last night street drinks toasted Fred and one of his sons and his wife came to join us.  Today was a private cremation.  There may be a memorial service next year.  Pam thinks she can live alone in their house with a meal service and the supports she has now.  I have my doubts.  While I am updating my sister is off oxygen but hasn't moved to Burwood Hospital.  My nephew was going to try and get her out in a wheel chair today.  He said her spirits are low.
