I'm not able to be there for Mothering Sunday next week, so when I was over seeing my brothers this weekend I called in to see her.

Forty Nine!
Just back from a lovely birthday weekend with J.
Saturday night at M and G's Joint 50th Birthday Party - great to see loads of old piping friends. Then on Sunday to Alnwick Garden and then on to Warkworth ( such a contrast from when I was there two years ago!).
And in the evening, a meal out in Darlington with J and D.
Thanks to everyone for all your cards and presents and flowers!

One Dog and His Man
I've had Alfie for a year today. I remember the moment I brought him home from the Dog Rescue place.. We just sat and stared at each other.
We still do....
The house purchase is grinding forward in spite of the best efforts of my solicitor to make everything take twice as long as it needs. ( This week's classic was a letter in reply to an email from me...) The vendor and I are aiming for a completion date of 14 March. ( Hope it's not a day later... -ed)
Still busy at work and had a quite a lot of trouble with my back this week. It's been quite sore. Too much stressed hunching over a computer I think!

Civic Welcome
My move to Darlington had better go ahead now.
The Civic Welcome has already been prepared...
( Many thanks to Pickersgill Reef for this.)

Every Day Is Like Sunday...
I always look forward to weeks when I'm working at home. But by about Wednesday things start to drag- no matter how busy I am and I begin to wish I was away again! This week was no exception - I think I've just done this sort of job for too long.
I've also not quite felt 100% all week - nothing too serious - just a bit fluey and queasy. ( It's poor J who's been really ill with whatever this bug is that's going around.)
The house buying/selling palaver has trundled on as well - I think we've moved forward and I may even ( fingers crossed) have a buyer for this place. But still no completion date.
But the highlight of the week was definitely seeing Morrissey at the Sunderland Empire on Friday. He was superb. Such shame that J was too ill to go.
I'm away on Tuesday and Wednesday this week.
That'll teach me...
