Life has been coming hard at us the last few months, long story short: My estranged (we broke contact due to her manipulative ways and unrepentant alcoholism) mother turned out to have cancer, after which we quickly got news that it would be untreatable and terminal. So we spent the months trying to rekindle some sort of contact, so we could at least say our goodbyes. After that there was the funeral, deciding whether to accept or reject the inheritance, cleaning out her house and a lot of emotional unpacking and processing along the way, which is still ongoing.
I have still been hobbying though, as that has been my mental lifeline. Prepare for incoming photodump, after the break!

That's everything caught up again.
Sorry to hear about your mother, I can not imagine how stressful and painful that whole process must be.

Thank you!
