The Sun Is Beautiful Again, Today

I had a lovely walk yesterday, and another short one today.  Yesterday I had to walk to get Nick's birthday pressie in the post, and also to deliver Claire's pressie to their house.  She was out (Tim was at work), so I left it in their recycling bin in the back garden, as I have a key to their back gate (and remembered to take it with me).  I then

I have just had my 'I aten't dead' form returned to me...

It's sad when I had a small cactus that died :P. This month has been nice, just drama-free and nothing extraordinary.

I think my brother Nick did Romeo & Juliet ... Tim missed out on the fun of Shakespeare completely!!

"A Nan for All Seasons" sounds useful!

As you guessed I meant "Man"
