	The funeral is today but I don't think we will go.It will be very buy there and I don't think the old man liked him much anyway. I will just have to feed him myself.

	The catering! Because it is his birthday I said he could have whatever he liked for tea. What he likes most is to not have to make decisions so even that is downto me.
