Damn! Damn! Damn!

My mother asked my sister to go along to a meeting about my Dad's care this morning. It's just as well she could go because it turned out to be with Social Services, who want to discontinue Dad's care funding (it's not clear if it's just the nursing element - c£100 a week, or the entire £600 a week). I'm fairly confident neither of them knew that going in - my sister definitely didn't, my mother might possibly have been told, but hadn't understood anything beyond 'this is something I want my daughter to make the decisions on'.

Cut for medical stuff.... )
Apparently there will be a further meeting about this, so I may have to disappear North at short notice. I'll probably stay on line - in fact I should go order a data SIM for my MIFI right now - but that side of things has fallen through before, so if I go silent, that's what's going on.

I haven't seen Black Panther, but I was struck by a thought after reading reviews:- what does it say about our world that we have to plain invent a country to show black people as a technological elite equivalent to white superheroes?
