Such a bad headache all morning. Managed anyways to record a piece of Robert's music with my kids and centa (not with all my sisters as I had intended) and we all dressed up very nicely and decorated a little with candles and a cross built from a soma cube that theodore had made at school. - there was even a teeny tiny cold rose from the garden.
The abschiedsfeier / Memorial service for Aunt Frieda, with 25 different zoom people participants (more people than that of course because the households were of course mostly multiple people) went for about 2 hours. Edward made an absolute masterpiece of a video for Tante Frieda, showing her at her absolute best at various times in her life, and even created a little video conversation between her and her brother (a video call over vhs before video calls were invented - i think maybe from 1998 or 1999) There were some minor zoom-technical glitches but it was nice to hear from people. most impressive was the difference is perspective and memory between people who were related to her (not so warm) and people who were her british friends (very warm and fond memories only).

Then Pauli came over and we watched kismet. The music still beats everything! It was hard for him to understand the dialogue and our bootlegged version didn't include subtitles, but I think he still enjoyed it.
Right at the last moment the kids decided they NEEDED to
write a story for a story competition with a deadline today. I sent in the last story after 9:30pm. I am not even user that they will still be accepted. Who knows. But the stories were charming. Next time they should start earlier, they agreed.
