And @moving_forward - what a wonderful rendition of Happy Birthday! ย You were absolutely pitch perfect!๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
So to end my special day I went to Waitrose - whilst I was about to go in DSis rang. I said I'd call her back when I got home in around an hour. When I got home there she was outside the flat in the carpark with little nephew, a birthday cake and balloon! ย So we had a nice time in the lovely sunshine, me sitting on the steps to the flat and her and LN sitting on the car. She had brought a knife so we all had a slice of cake and a nice chat for an hour as I haven't seen them since before the lockdown. Then when they went to go homeย her car wouldn't start!๐ฑ ย In the end we had to wait an hour for the breakdown man with the other residents of the block driving carefully around her so the could get to their car space! ย It was a flat battery and the breakdown man got her moving in the end! ย So she said she would try and come over next week for another 'car park chat'. ย Hopefully with a healthy battery!๐คฃ
