Haha - every so often my favorite Aunty from across the pond scares up a photo no one knows existed & scans and sends it over via e-mail.

turned out my sister pinpointed the day - she'd rented out a trampoline in the local sports centre for a couple of hours for a birthday, I stayed over to help out. My memory is *that* is of standing at the edge of a trampoline lifting very excited 4 year olds on and off for about a million years
sitting on the floor and reading a book to a 2 year old was a doddle in comparison

It was! I think the bottom of my garden is on it's route. In fact, I think it may be a boy, I'm seeing it so regularly, they roam much further than the girls. Purring is good, whatever it is 😽How sweet to see the kitten

Aw, lovely memories! How lovely that you've managed to pinpoint the exact day 😊😊4

Yep, it was lovely!
Another little victory today - all cards sent!
Now it's the emails
one or two of which are individual, the rest are like Christmas letters. I *had* to write a letter for one of the last cards, elderly rellie in Yorkshire who has no email address - and my handwriting looked really, really dodgy

Well, no emails written as per the post above, from 2 days ago. My science/New Age buddy who moved to Glastonbury rang (from his hospital bed! two weeks and counting!) and then yesterday I went to my sister's for my birthday lunch of incredibly rich food. Loved it. And I re-learned all her electrical and electronic doodads (switching the tv on can be complicated!) because it looks like I'm bunny-sitting in the New Year. The professional is having a knee replaced, not heard anything to the contrary with omicron yet, so we're acting as if it's all happening. Heaven only knows.
So, the emails are *today*, as is tidying up the office, because honestly it's so disrupted I can't use it for anything at all. It's going to take the whole day - if I'm lucky, it really is a state
