My mum died on the Tuesday before last, 24th of February. I had been her full time carer prior to that for about 3 years, but it was on 13th of October when things took a big turn for the worse and i had been consistently pulling 17-19 hour days as a result, which gives you a sense of the state of the care system where i am in the UK right now. Despite knowing she was quite unwell, I would still say she passed out of the blue for me, but that’s mostly because I never thought she would ever not be here. I am bereft in all honesty. It was pneumonia really that told in the end. She needed more and more oxygen and then started retaining co2. They tried to slowly ween her off oxygen in the hopes

I have two echo's in my living room and use them as a kind of surround 2.0 system when playing prime music. As i generally have my laptop in my living room also i was wondering whether it would be possible to turn my living room speaker group into my laptop's speakers as well. Has anybody been able to do this? And if so - how?

Does anybody have any laptop recommendations for somebody who is not computer savvy? She will be using it mostly for Microsoft office related tasks; Excel, Word, etc, but has said her priority is that it be easy to use and mobile, but also with good reliability, battery life, and a large screen.

I should add, on the large screen point, that she is 70 now and due to have cataract surgery in December, so screen size may be less of a pronounced issue after that time (hopefully). I have been searching for good Laptop ideas, but I’m unsure which laptop will best suit her specific needs. I was looking at the Dell XPS15, but the reliability issues I have read about have completely put me off.

Okay, so this is from my admittedly shaky memory so apologies in advance, however the lyrics went something like this: "waiting for tomorrow leaving you today people come people go the friends you have and the friends you know the world outside left you so alone looking out your window how you failed to recognize the ships coming in"
