@MAM12CP D was such a lovely boy; I was v fond of him whilst despairing at his self destruction. Guy who gave him job in garage was a JP. When he retired he sold D garage at knockdown price & Dโ€™s still running it. Sends me Xmas card since our encounter ๐Ÿ˜

Remember my Grandmother's tatty 70 yr old Lloyd Loom chair? The restorer has done a wonderful job. Cleaned & painted 'tidal' it looks lovely with bedroom cushions, curtains & blind. The little brass feet (which I didn't know were there!) have cleaned up beautifully. So pleased

We're going on an actual holiday tomorrow in a cottage by the sea. ๐Ÿ˜ I'm usually able to pack for a week away in about 30 mins but I'm so out of practice; I keep wandering about with odd items in my hand. It's taking forever ๐Ÿ™„

I know public sector gets criticised a lot. So just to say the Govt's digital #TellUsOnce Service to notify all Govt Depts of a death is excellent. V simple & easy to use. For those not online it can also be completed by one phone call

15 months since we moved out of our house on #thepennines & started the search for our next home. It's been a marathon rollercoaster with vendors of 3 different houses deciding not to sell after accepting our offers. This week we will exchange contracts on house #4 in #Yorkshire

This wk I've had haircut, swim, & facial. Our neighbours are coming to drink wine & eat a hog (roasted elsewhere & delivered to us) in our garden. And it's still, sunny & a balmy 11c on #thepennines . After all these months, I may just be (definitely) over-excited

Mr F making excellent progress. He's climbed flight of 12 stairs, had physio & hydrotherapy. MRI scan yesterday & Prof Hart says his new hip is 'perfect, so pls don't mess up my handiwork'. Mr F says it's like buying new car & salesman says don't drive it, you might scratch it!
