Just found an old spreadsheet I made to rotate care of mum with my brother & sister. I had named the file ‘best mama ever.’We never got to use it as she went to hospice way before. I wonder if one day it will feel real to me that she’s gone because my brain still can’t accept it.

Life is cruel. Life is precious. Thinking of beautiful Isabelle tonight and always ❤️ all the love to @criminographer and her lovely family. Hold those you love tight and appreciate every moment.
We are devastated to say that our beautiful Isabelle died in the early hours of this morning. We are absolutely broken. However, we want you all not to think of her death, but to honour her by living life as she did: fearlessly, joyously & spontaneously.

Two awards ceremonies later and I think this epitomises how 99% of Edinburgh feel at this point in the festival. Huge respect to all those who have been here the whole month putting themselves out there and sharing their work, you’ve almost made it! Ed Fest 2024 over and out ❤️
