h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Last week was tough. First of all a very dear aunt of mine died, and then a good friend's mother died. Two funerals in one day. Both very sad. Don't really know what else to say really.

In Ireland, funerals are still a very big thing. People come from all around to commiserate with the bereaved family and friends. I think this is good, because it gives people support when they need it, and it makes you realise that even though huge changes have taken place in this little island over the past few years, there still is a sense of community here. People are still there when you need them.
