------------------------------------------------- Title: A few weeks away Date: 2022-06-07 Device: iPad Mood: Okay ------------------------------------------------- I took some intentional time semi-offline recently. Not completely offline, just enough to keep vaguely in touch with work and deal with any problems (or which there were none). As ever I'm lucky to have that flexibility in my life, but I think I needed it. We had the funeral for my grandfather. My Dad and his brothers spoke beautifully. My sister read a poem, which was a huge effort given her current health issues. There were about 30 people at the crematorium; not bad for a 98-year-old. Back on the horse tomorrow, though; London for a lunch, and then back to board meetings and normal duties by Friday. --C
