Aww, thank you all, lovely ones. Birthday is actually tomorrow - when we arranged it, we picked that date so that she'd have me in her house *before* she went to a restaurant and sat within breathing distance of all and sundry. She cancelled the meal in any case, so she could carry on seeing the new baby, but we decided to keep the same days. She's coming over tomorrow on my *actual* birthday to go for a walk.
Very little of my list done today, though I did a *lot* of one thing - tidied the porch, by getting rid of envelopes and address labels torn off parcels so that they can be destroyed safelyit was all getting a bit much - very bad feng shui! A couple of the most important emails written, dishwasher and washing machine both had outings.
