The kingfisher sounds gorgeous Kiwimade.
I avoided the funeral too, & for the same reason. I just don't do funerals anymore at all.
I'm not having one - I'm going to have an unfuneral. Cremated & that lot can sit around & tell all those stories they've got saved up about their entirely angelic parent/grandparent...
Hope all goes well, Popeye. I don't like sympathy cards either, awful things. I remember when my dad died I had one or two from some random religious strangers, vey keen to spread their religion. One of them made the mistake of putting their address on the envelope, so that person got a note from me, giving my opinion of those who took advantage of grieving families.
I'd like to think they never did so again.
Had a swift look in $2 shop on my way this morning; they have some far more reasonably priced at 30c but not indexed. I've one or two more places to check before I finally decide - if I find some indexed for that price or close, that would be brilliant. Otherwise, it comes down to paying more or doing the extra work of indexing myself.
And since I have mostly Scots ancestry so I'm guessing that if I can't find any indexed at a more reasonable price, it'll be me doing it, dammit!
I did the dreaded groceries & then a tiny bit of weeding so am going to do nothing for the rest of the day, apart from a bit more painting.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
