There's Now't As Queer As Folk

Back in 2021-22, I spent 8 months in London, working from there and taking care of my mother. I'm not quite doing that yet, because she's still in hospital after a fall that broke three ribs and a collarbone. I'm living in her flat and visiting the hospital four days a week with an evening meal for her, since the hospital food is pretty poor. I also take her post in, pay her bills, and so on. 

Oddly, this is more stressful than looking after her at home. I hope I'll be able to go down to three days a week soon, which will leave me more capacity for working. 

She's started physiotherapy and is doing reasonably well with it, so there is a reasonable hope she'll come home this month. Mentally, she is fine, but she is 90 years old, so physical recovery isn't very fast.
