Thanks folks. You cheered me up, again.

Piglet, my only running naked will be from the shower to the towel shelf!!! Any greater distance is just too shocking to contemplate.

Just spotted that from the 5 cloves of shop garlic I planted before Crimbo, I have three shoots through - 3 inches high!! How did I miss it before? Now there is a birthday surprise, and I have a daff flowering at the back door!

I intend having a relaxing day with the usual laundry of kids school/college/work clothes and feeding the horseys. Maybe a chinese takeaway for dinner (if I can be bothered going to buy it). Oh, and, of course, drinkies on the vine later on too - the best bit of the day since Madmax is away.

I'm hoping they'll be here any day now Shirl. I think post from the US takes about a week on average. Fingers crossed!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes.

Course there will be plenty wine and virtual cake to go round everyone on the vine - that's the best bit with virtual parties!!!

Don't worry about the Monday thing - mine is on a Monday next year!

Thanks for all the new best wishes, love the card thank you SarzWix. Thanks for all the cute 'smileys' too everyone.

Lovely sunny day here and I am really warm and dry for the first time this year. Off out now to see if the grass is dry enough to mow!!
