    @beanielou now on p 1966 of your diary so fewer than 500 pages till I'm all caught up! Reading about DS big birthday, hope it's all worked out.  If the GF is the problem (I seem to remember that she has form?) she needs to get a grip.  Maybe someone could have a word, especially given how kind and supportive you've been to DS - and to humanity at large actually.   Love Humdinger xx

    A lot of falls are more shock than damage. Mr SA falls a lot but is often more shook up than hurt.

    So this SA.

    I have had a lovely day of doing absolutly nothing.  I refuse to feel guilty.
