Bit of this

Some children don't turn up, some come that shouldn't have, but a good morning was had by all.

The discovery of xmas cards and official letters dating from 2006 are part of my once in a while trawl from pigeon box at work. What a waste of paper. I refuse to look after the first few bits and bin the lot.

A work of art has appeared outside the stables, in the form of a huge tree trunk that has been tuned into a mounting block. "The medal podium" she says demonstrating each step up. A small dog jumps up to join her on the top "for gold" and she waves her arms in the air triumphantly. It has been recycled from lord of the manor's garden. I tell her in all probability it will be there for years and she should put a plaque on it for posterity. "Um good idea".
