Nothing to say about it,

but thought the heading might boost my viewings

Well, I’m on the side of the poor daughter-in-law. Yes, she seems like an uncouth and selfish woman, but blimey, what a hostess from hell is the mother-in-law. (Or future MIL - if Heidi has any sense she’ll get out quickly.)

Anyway, John’s birthday today, and he’s feeling much better. I deserted him for my Creative Writing class this morning, and it was up to its usual great quality. Then we had lunch at The Nag’s Head, Preston, and met up with some former members of the class. Tuna jacket for me.

I made a detour to Waitrose on the way homeand bought readymade crab starter, chicken main dish with potato rosti, and Eden Mess for afters. Wolf Blass Cavernet Sauvignon wine as we don’t care that white wine should be drunk with fish/chicken. I’m about to start ‘cooking’ and have had a sherry (just to finish the bottle you understand)

I got a full refund for my ‘new’ iPad so have ordered another one, this time from Apple themselves. It’s not in stock yet, but I’m happy to wait for up to a fortnight. Hope it comes sooner.

Martin is coming to stay overnight on Sunday as he has a meeting in Doncaster. They all skyped earlier and Alexander was waving to us, looking puzzled at how small we were.

Ali and family skyped John earlier, but I was out. Everyone is well. All’s right with the world. Well, it’s not, but our little world is fine.

Thank God.
