But not in any way expected. Six days after my last day at Cisra (canon r and d australia), my dear old mum died suddenly. At an increasingly rickety 89, it was going to be sooner rather than later, and the manner (surrounded by family) was good, but it’s still a serious shock. At least I never had to worry her with the whole job loss thing.
We saw her off last Thursday, and yesterday (Friday), rather surreally, I sat down and started refreshing my python list comprehensions. I didn’t last very long. A thorough house clean was way more attractive. I’ll try again now: lets see how long I last!
