2014 day ?

It's the last day of March so therefore day  90 of this year, but my March seems to have acquired an extra day. That's what I get for playing catchup. We won't count today and I'll move on to day 91 tomorrow 


No matter, here's a photo of a rather nice Mothers' Day treat I had yesterday

2014 day 57 - broken satnav

My satnav failed on my way home from the theatre in Woking last week, and now it seems to think I'm somewhere in Kent. It's been for diagnosis today, and needs a new arial, which won't happen until next week. I really miss it - it's not that I don't know the way to work, I just like maps! And it shows where the traffic holdups are
