TV off....record player on

To end a nice day. Tv was pretty rubbish after the 1970's programme. I would have happily watched the (or any) episode of Blue Peter that the kids were watching. Sadly the best my 2016 tv could offer was Sex & The City 2. I've turned it off and am listening to Marillion instead.

Left Karen's just after 10 this morning. Had nice chats with Neil about planning routes for holidays in France. We sit on the same wave length for many things - much to Karen & Jon's dismay I think, sometimes. But I like being quirky and a bit different....

Went to visit Pauline convalescing after her replacement knee surgery. It looks very painful. I'm sure she will make sure and steady progress. She liked the bag I made her anyway, so that was good.

We drove back and got home at 2.30. Henry wasn't dressed! After making some phone calls, firstly to a PPI claim where I got nowhere, and secondly to my car insurance to get Mollie insured (an arm and a leg as they say) then a chat with Dan, I went out and cleared leaves with Henrys help. (he was dressed by this time) The light was failing, but it looks better than it did. I will look at damp shade loving plants - that will be more hostas then! Not sure I want to risk splitting my giant beast though.

Evening passed in an internet blur and then I realised I didn't have a blip.

Now i am listening to Ultravox, makers of my favourite song. Still can't beat 80's music...in my opinion;-)
