I'm so deeply sorry for your loss, Thane. She sounds like a person who will be enormously missed by family, friends and colleagues, anyone who interacted with her.

I agree with you on the excellence of those Cake or Death clips by Eddie Izzard, it always felt to me like a cutting but fair parody of elements of religious communities. To me it's become a perfect example of those situations where all of your possible paths forward are shit choices but someone's trying to convince you that one of them is great, even though a great choice doesn't exist.

Oh, this is such a moving piece. How sad to lose such a dear friend but what a beautiful description of her and her death. And a lovely memorial to share her cake. And thank you for the lego clips – I have just spent rather too long laughing my head off when I am trying to get some work done..

I am very sorry for your loss, Sue sounds wonderful. I like the traditional Jewish form of words "may her memory be a blessing": these memories of her that you have shared really are a blessing.

Thank you , as the initial grief subsides I’m sure her memory will be a blessing, her friendship truly was.
