The last time I saw Tamb they said they were going to have a rest from their chemo, as they were exhausted from chemo, was my understanding.

That happens each time he has chemo, yes. He usually only disappears for a week at most.

I think he’s recovering from another dose of chemo.

He’s a chemo hero that one, I don’t know of anyone else maintaining that regime as long as he has.

Nothing much we can do without contact details of some sort.

They can hoist my morbidly obese carcass above the door of the health centre, and leave it to slowly rot, as a warning to others.

I’ve been known to mention taking a walk along a riverbamk up north.

What about going all Zoroastrian, and having a Parsee/Parsi funeral?

Your body is taken to the tower of death where the vultures feed on it. Once the bones are bleached by the sun they are pushed into the circular opening in the center.

The mourning process is four days long, and rather than creating graves for the dead, charities are established in honor of the person.

So cows were being given diclofenac for pain and inflammation. Cows died, vultures ate the carcasses, and the diclofenac poisoned the vultures, leaving dead human bodies rotting in the sun because nothing was there to eat them.

After reading Caitlin Doughty’s books, I am unsure of what I want except no embalming. I like the idea of composting, but there’s very limited places who offer it. I’ve never uh, warmed, to the idea of cremation, but I don’t like traditional burials either.

I did tell Mini Me that I can be cremated and my cremains be turned into my favourite gemstone, but no one liked that idea either.
