Many thanks to Ped for bringing my birthday to your attention, and many thanks to you all for your kind thoughts and best wishes.
I have been out to Otley for most of the the day wandering round the park, feeding the ducks, eating things like pork pies and such. I got back at about four and was about to post when Becci turned up, and things sort of drifted....
She has just gone and I am now about to make my own version of IrnBru WKD (or two ) and watch some football. I might need a paracetamol supper.... and maybe an aspirin breakfast tomorrow.
