Can people please keep me distracted.

[theferry]

My mum is dying. I’m on the train trying to get to her with my DDs. She’s waiting for me. Can people please help me stay distracted. I’m trying to not be a blubbering mess in front of everyone.

Handhold x

how old are your DDs?

Oh honey. I'm so sorry. Its ok to blubber in these circumstances. What a train stranger thinks of you is not relevant.

However. You asked for distraction. Would you like to guess the population of Java?

Give me a guess and I'll tell you higher or lower.

15 and 13.

Don't worry if you need a cry. We can distract you here x

Im not entirely sure I know where Java is geography was never my strong point 🤔
5 million

I should have picked somewhere else really as now I have googled for the answer and its very complicated!

I have the 2015 figure anyway... go much much higher

Bless you. Stay calm. You're on your way as quickly as possible -£ to a penny your mum will wait for you ; somehow she will know you're on your way. Don't worry about hiding your tears. Have a cry if you need to but dry your eyes when you get there to hold her hand. We're holding yours. 💐

10 million

Java? Isn't that east of Krakatoa?

I think Java is one of the most densely populated parts of the world

Another handhold. How about doing an online grocery shop? Sound odd but helped me in similar circumstances

Thank you people. She know im coming. Sister, dad etx are all with her. Thank goodness to train is on time 🤞. Loads have been delayed/cancelled.

she was diagnosed with cancer only 4 weeks ago. She’s just faded away so quickly.

What's in your fridge?

No bloody tomatoes 🍅

Have you done today's WORDLE, QUORDLE, XORDLE, SQUAREDLE - I find them all useful distractions

That shows how crap my geography is. Is it around the Indonesia area?

2 hours of the train journey left. We’re in Scotland and they’re in Yorkshire. My mum always said she wished she had wings to fly to us.

Do Wordle or Picturdle

Milk, pizza, yoghurt, butter, jam, hotdogs, salad.

My mum always said she wished she had wings to fly to us. That's beautiful.

I'm in Yorkshire and even my geography of Yorkshire/UK is bad and I know nothing about Java.

Yes Java is part of Indonesia.

In 2105 its population was 145 MILLION

Java is one of the world's most densely populated areas. The island averages more than 2,600 persons per square mile (1,000 per square km) and has the majority of Indonesia's population on only 7 percent of the total land area of the republic.

You've got the wings. You're flying to be with her. Hang on in there ...

I’m glad I was able to get first class tickets for a reasonable amount (not that I care about money right now). I figured it would be quieter r, which it is.

I was miles off then 🙈

Java sounds like an awful place tbf
