10 hours writing up Fridays entry - oops. Very quiet day at work, all bosses and PITA people missing, even Y had the afternoon off. Went out with D and H tonight to a quiz at the golf place where H works on weekends. Was a reasoably pleasant evening, we were joint first at half way but faded in the second half and only managed 4th. Always nice to win but it didn't matter that much. Bit scary in the car, they both drive like old people, which I suppose in D's case he is. All slow when should be fast and fast when should be slow! Nice of them to take me out though and I did provide some decent answers so not in vain.

Well thats one down, um 3 ish to go. Had a visit from A and E - or the JM as we call her, Jaffa Monster! And they brought a card and a double pack of said jaffa's. Not that I got a look in, that girl could scoff jaffa's for England. But she is so cute and affectionate and she is the spit of her mother. Its really disconcerting when she clambers across me, hugs me, kisses my cheek and then looks into my eyes with those huge but miniature versions of her mothers lovely eyes.
Sunny day today, so after they had gone I went into town and then had lunch in the garden. The world is such a better place when the sun shines.

Went for a bike ride with P late this afternoon and it was hard work. We did 'only' 23 miles but went up near Prescott and there were some steep hills! And the warm sun didn't help.
Tonight we all went to The Ketch and had a carvery meal. Was yum. E came too. She picked me up and brought me a present which was very kind and a bit unexpected. Got back home later this evening with presents from S's lot and put them with the present from E and the 11 cards I have received and started to feel a bit glum. I'm going to wake up tomorrow and its my birthday and its lovely to have cards and presents but there will be no one here to share the moment with. I probably shouldn't have but I sent E a text and told her that I'd miss her in the morning
