    The birthday treat for your dad sounds lovely- was it the place that does all the lessons in chocolate work at ridiculous prices?

    It’s my dds birthday today but I won’t be seeing her. Wished her a happy birthday over the phone but it’s not the same. You are so lucky having them close by.

    Man in the road was not good - he was lucky he wasn’t run over. Bet he had a bad head next day.

    Hope you’ve had a good day with your friend.

    Re foxes, my friend lives in the East End of London se extremely urban. She sent me a photo recently of five foxes sprawled out on the top of her garden like they were sunbathing in Ibiza!

    Yesterday shopping trip involved a trip to a town that still has a brilliant market , which is something my part of town misses . More Christmas shopping done , one task today is to see how much more I need to finish. Not much I don't think. Then I will concentrate on wrapping and card writing.

    My friend and I were in Costa that long that one of the staff brought us some water to drink as he could see we were having a good chat . Anyway we are all caught up with each other now !

    Today is shopping, ironing , balancing the books and getting ready for the week ahead.

    Shopping and ironing done .

    Been in the cupboard of doom to get out the boxes that hold my own children's toys, that I saved in the hope of grandchildren. They have proved very useful , today I have put the baby toys away and got out dolls for DGD and clothes . One doll was mine and must be 50 yr old. I have cleaned them up and washed all the clothes. She will have lots of fun with them. Next lot of stuff to come out is Barbies I have loads of them. Baby toys gone away just in case DS ever produces more DGC .

    Off to sort finances out now and get my lunch ready for tomorrow.
