I wonder who thought of the Gold Star Whole Month award! Getting one does give a sort of 'smug' feeling. But why not, we're worth it! I've even overcome my addiction to choc-ices (mint) and that's an achievement too! (Cue snowman emoji). A friend said I've got an addictive personality. Hmmm... not sure.dustydigger said:(sings) ''oh would you like to swing on a.......leaf ???''9/27 please cathybird.keeping a record does help enormously.

Anyway I'll try to get it right this time, 5/27 and one evening's "Oops!" has denied me meeting my target. Drat. Ah well, I'll be leaf-dangling on Wednesday (Not an expression you hear much!).Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!5 -
