What a lovely day.

I went for breakfast with my son and daughter, I had a croissant with Brie and Bacon and had a lovely time, Beano came with me and sat under the table quietly. 

I showed my kids the book with my last wishes in and explained a few things. I don't want a funeral, I'm going to arrange my own cremation and I don't want anyone to attend.

We had an interesting discussion and I think everything was agreed upon.

I returned home and then went to the the summer house for lunch, beef casserole with roast potatoes. I've volunteered to cook a chicken cobbler next week and Barbara will make a crumble.

We had a quiz in the summer house and I only got one question wrong, so I was pleased. I came home and watched Frost. I didn't want anything else to eat. I try not to eat after 5 p.m. 

Beano is snoozing on the sofa beside me and I'm watching YouTube.

All in all a lovely day.

Sounds perfect. Chat with family, chat with friends, eating and chilling. I like the sound of your summerhouse.

What a great day you had - and I wish you many more like that. So good to confirm your wishes for when you die; this way it takes away the expense and worry for your family - and should give you peace of mind too. Well done!

My parents discussed this often with me. It helped tremendously when my Dad died and Mum, my estranged Sister and I had to organise the funeral. Everything was written down the way he wanted it, and it streamlined potentially difficult discussions.
Mum (88, in good health) is regularly updating her address book, funeral arrangement wishes, etc.

What a lovely day.
