Christine will be 65 (tomorrow) but I had arranged for a card from Moonpig to arrive, either today, or latest tomorrow. I thought she would be pleased to get a card from me but I think she was upset as she rang the house and spoke to Anna in a very aggressive way (I understand) . I immediately sent her text but didn’t get either a phone call or a text, anyway, Happy Birthday for tomorrow Squirrel….I hope you are happy
Monday 5th March
Today looks like being a slow day. The weather is better than yesterday, when we had heavy snow in the afternoon. I only have one appointment today in Newmarket and so I will busy myself with the dogs and housework.
Anna came home and announced she is on holiday for two weeks and so I expect we will see more of her,
My Car died
My Toyota Previa which I bought in June 2002 died today. I had had what I thought was a little problem, when I tried to start it the oil light wouldn’t go out, so being cautious I rang the AA. They sent a recovery vehicle and Nigel (the AA man) decided he needed to recover the Previa to Toyota in Bury St Edmunds.
Once the car was back with Toyota they quickly diagnosed that the engine was knackered and advised me to scrap it as a new engine would cost £7000.
And so, RY02 UUH is no more.
2011 12 14 David is 60 today
Today is the 60th birthday of a very dear friend, David Garrett, who I have known since I was 10. We met at school and have stayed in touch for 50 years. Quite an achievement. A lovely man who has always done what is right. I am proud to have known him.

A Good Walk
Bad backs
Today I am laid up with a bad back. I am supposed to work today but am in considerable pain. I really need to eat but can’t face getting out of bed.
I hope it clears up soon
Logs
My departing neighbour popped over and invited me to take the logs he had stacked outside and in his garage. Terrific. Enough to see us through the winter.
Jack
Our neighbour, Jack seems to be moving today. He hasn’t told us anything so its all a bit of a mystery. Removal vans are blocking our driveway but the driver assures me he will move when I need to leave for work. Lets hope he keeps to that.
Walking with Berkley and Lomu
The dogs and I walked this morning. It was a bit chilly but I spent the time listening to Stephen King (Duma Quay) on my iPod
It would have been my Mums birthday today. God bless her. I sadly miss her
Two birthdays today
Today is a birthday for two people. One who has left us, my MUM, and another, Demetres in Athens. My Mum left us in 1997 after stomach cancer. I keep her alive in my heart and hope I am able to do that forever. She was a wonderful person. Demetres is the father of Louisa and living in Athens. I haven’t seen him since Marc and Louisa married in Nov 2006 and I seem to be cut off from him. This makes me sad when I think about it as we got on so well. Perhaps one day he will be able to tell me why he has an issue with me. Life’s too short, especially at our age.
