Wednesday

Just phoned the solicitor. Seems nice chap. Aparently we are the execturors along with the sister and brother in law..... we can see the will anytime on production of proof of identity at his office and have copies etc. i rang wife told her. Then rang brother in law, who seemed suprised, and wondered if they could be executors if they hadnt been asked (maybe trying to worm out of it?). he asked about our friends funeral wishes and i told him she wanted to be in the house or at least nearbye. And that id asked a funeral director, and she couldnt, as she had hoped be "in the wall" but had to be under ground. He told me that they had tried to register the death, but couldnt till tommorow, for some reason. Aparently my friend, along with the will, prepaired three statements to three seperate people (tho none to us). My thoughts are, to mutual friend, sis and posibly grandad?.... The solicitor maybe is under instructions to issue these statments at some undisclosed time, i presume if a fight brakes out, but i dont know. Our mutual friend is named as legel gardian.

Humm dinner time got call from the brother in law, he wants to see the will today and wants me there, so arange for wife to take an hour off work, drop son off and rush there, meet outside. Shakes hands etc sort of apologises ... go in and chat to soclicitor who is off on holiday tommorow! Wish i was too. Any way read will, details as everyone said they would be (tho i agreed not to discuss it or show it to people, told him to tell who he wanted to tell, as i didnt want to take sides etc) he seemed to be working up to chalengeing the gardianship, hes been talking to a friend who handles family stuff, tho he said it wasnt certain or was uncertain. There are three statements lodged with the solicitor (tho none for us thank god) to be produced at apropriate time. The father of the lad was discussed, and one statement was produced (copy for each) like a magician, it said he was a piss head and unsuportive etc and he wasnt to have anything to do with the lad. On which we both prity much agreed. I have little doubt that even now our friends death is being used as an excuse for a massive piss up.

Im wondering what the others say, i think it likely that one will be produced if they contest the gardianship and it will say some very harsh words indeed.

Just phoned, had undertaker round, rekons that theres no way to inter her in the house or surounding it. It is on bed rock and surounded by a meter thick retaining wall etc i can see its dificult. hes talking about the main cemetary, which she did walk tho takeing her son to the beech often. I requested at least a memorial at the house...
