    Quite a nice day here today as well.

    Have finished the crime book club book and it was fab.

    Need to find a birthday card & get it written.

    Charity accounts are up to date. Problems getting them to print out though!!

    GB's autobiograhy is quite heavy going.
    Pity that the Fife stuff was not all in the same chapter.
