Happy Birthday Jane. 28 today...So far she hasn't rung up, and her phone is on answer message, but she's probably busy. Might even be working, I'm not sure.
I hope it isn't too bad where she is in Manchester, the day started very wet and rainy here but has cleared up and is quite nice now.
Vin went out this morning to get some stuff, and said it was quite warm as the morning went on. He called in at the garden centre over the bypass, to see if they had reduced the price of the wooden seats that I fancied. They haven't. Why is it that the things you don't want are reduced, but the things that you do aren't. Typical. Talking of garden centres..Dobbies the other dday were beginning to get ready for Christmas. They had a sale section with last years Christmas Candles on it, and some of the cards and wrapping papers were out. Gosh it must be awful working in a shop like that, you never stand still. Always some seasonal thing to get ready for!
He is up in the loft again measuring the space between the joists for insulation. You would expect them to be the same, but they aren't. Some are 12" some are 14"..he says "No problem" Definitely got the house fixing bug now!!.
I wonder what Jane is doing? we used to have such good times when she was young. mostly we were on holiday, so we would arrange something special to do on the day. best times were in Florida, in Orlando where she could choose which Disney thing she wanted to go on. and which place to go for dinner in the evening.
Can't believe it is 28 years ago since we had her. 9lbs and a month early..she should reaklly have been born on Sept 21st. She has always said that it was a pity she wasn't a few days later on the 1st of Sept., then she would have been the oldest in her class rather than the youngest. Ah well these things happen.
Tonight we are having:
Chinese..Goujons with a sweet and sour sauce,
Stir fry vegetables
1/2 a packet of rice each.

Happy Birthday to Jane - you had a big baby too :) Karl was 9lb 7oz when he was born.
Mum and Dad are in Edinburgh now and she said she hasn't seen Karl but then I hadn't realized until y'day that they were going to Edinburgh (or if I had I'd forgotten) so didn't have time to organize Karl meeting them. Anyway they return back home tomorrow.
We have a jack n' jill chair but ours doesn't curve - it actually belonged to mum and dad and they didn't want it anymore. I love it and so do the cats :)) take care, Judyx
