Some people eat when they're feeling down. My family cooks.

It's a large family, full of people who understand that eating is an inherrently social activity. And so as relatives come to visit, they invariably come bearing food... the kitchen's now stuffed to the rafters, and I seem to have spent most of the last few days eating. Company has been good, but now I'm back in an empty house in North Melbourne.

I'll be spending a lot of time on the train this week - returning to Somerville on Sunday night, then to Melbourne on Wednesday, and then going back with [livejournal.com profile] aeliel on Thursday. I'm still intending to run my tournament at UniCon next Saturday, but I may not be feeling particularly talkative. Thankfully it's a fire-and-forget event - one scenario, no round draws, and the players manage everything during the day. It's a thirty-player event, and the convention will need the numbers.

If anyone would like to come, the funeral will be held next Friday. Here are the details from today's paper:
LEONG. Family and friends are invited to attend a Funeral Service to celebrate the life of Mr Wai Sing Leong which will be held in the Weeroona Chapel at Bunurong Memorial Park, 790 Frankston-Dandenong Rd, South Dandenong, on FRIDAY (Oct. 3) commencing at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Frankston Palliative Care. Envelopes will be available at the Chapel.
Please send me an SMS if you are planning to come along - moral support would be much appreciated

Hi Ben,

there are so many things I would like to say to you, or just chat about, but for now I will send lots of psychic love hugs and support from the Pilbara...Especially this fri, Oct 3rd. Do you have an address for the Palliative Care Centre? I would like to send a donation.

PS, after my mom passed away last year we were given random foodstuffs like 10 bbq chickens, a zillion types of quiches, soups, pasta, u name it! Think the freezer is stil full. Food does seem to be a comfort huh..

xx

deepest sympathy

just read this.

I don't think I'll be able to make it to the funeral, but I feel for you. This is some pretty rough stuff you're going through now. If you're in town wednesday night, I'll be here to give whatever support I can.
