Just a quick update to let anybody know who has been following my thread etc.
I have had to put my modelling on the back shelf so to speak due to loosing my Father to the dreaded Covid virus recently. This has had a knock on effect as my Dad was my Mums full time carer, as she has had two strokes. Since my Dads passing, my Mum became positive to the virus, so my time is taken by looking after her full time. At present she is making good progress, not bad for someone who is 83 in march. (She will thank me for making that known !)
The little bit of modelling I have managed is on the rolling stock front, one being the re-motoring of my super detailed Lima class 40. It really is too good a model to just sit at the side gathering dust, so I took the plunge and fitted a new motor from Strathpeiffer models.
The other bits I have managed are the renumbering of a couple of Bachmann class 40s.

Wise words - with which I completely agree.
I also know that being a carer is an "immersive experience" - never mind 24/7, this often feels more like 25/8 - and the added grief certainly doesn't help, as I know from personal experience.
You've got a lot to deal with at the moment - a lot of stress right now - and lots more to follow.
Chances are you also won't have much time to yourself - and you'll really need what little time you do get.
If you get chance to do any hobby stuff - if you're actually able to concentrate on it - it's likely to be a welcome break.
If not, hobby stuff can wait - and so can updates to sites like this. You'll still enjoy this stuff at a later date - and I'm sure that most people round here will still be supportive.
I don't think there's a lot more I can usefully say right now - it's already been said, by somebody else.
Take care.
