Summer is here

Blazing sunshine and a freezing cold wind but the best we've had so far. And even a blue sky!

Happy Birthday to me!

This morning Susie removed my alarm clock and gave me the rarest of all gifts in this job - a lie-in! Then we had some lovely cake, presents and a morning out together, walking in the sunshine on Werneth Low. What a lovely day.

Stupid Sunday

Almost had a disaster this morning - first Poppy and I were delivering papers, I left Poppy in the van and came back down the stairs from the house to find the van gone. Couldn't understand it so not panicking - I knew it hadn't been stolen. Looked right, saw a white van down the street, thought "I didn't walk that far" and realised the white van wasn't ours. Looked left, saw our white van across the road up against a hedge. I hadn't set the handbrake.

I need more sleep.



Rest of the day: went to baby gym with Poppy, watched "Girl on the Bridge" with Daniel Auteuil and Vanessa Paradis (pretty good film) and later took the little bundle of energy out for a walk.
