A nice card from Ellie, that she made herself. A nice card from Nikki. And a card from Robbie in which he had written ‘happy birthday’ ? Questioned about this he just claimed he wasn’t thinking when he wrote it. He must have been on what we call ‘Planet Robbie’.
Still I prospered with a dvd (Hot Fuzz) and a book on (Sir) Ian Botham, and fine bottle of 15 year aged Glenmorangie. Guess what I will be drinking in a short while !
I was treated very well. Thank you to my lovely hooligans.
With the exception of Nikki, who is studying for her last 3 exams this week, we all went off to help my brother celebrate being 40 this afternoon. A good time was had.
Have started on a re read of Great Expectations, which I haven’t read for over 20 years. My fav Dickens is David Copperfield, but this isn’t far behind.
Paul's life... too boring to be of interest to anyone 
I never seem to get on very well with Dickens. I don’t know why as I can read other 19th century writers without any problems. My last attempt was a Tale of Two Cities and I ended up giving up half way through.
