grown up sensible things

Your DK and I did a thing very grown up and sensible this morning.  We went to MK's old office and organised a wills.  Being a sensible lawyer your MK has had one for years but it was out of date and your DK had never gotten around to doing one.   But that sort of thing wont cut it anymore.  It was strange to think about my eventual death - and it was certainly different from when the issue had past my mind before I was your mum.
