It must be quite dark when you wake, Bags. My body clock works on daylight, so I woke a little later today. Autumn has come very quickly - Juragran will notice a big change in the foliage when she gets home next Monday. It is very beautiful, but rain is forecast for the rest of the week, so my walks will be restricted.
Best wishes to all of you having a special occasion today.
I was very touched yesterday to receive a phone call from an English friend of Juragran's, who lives in this area, just checking I was not too lonely. I have met her only once, at a party here last December. How kind most people are.
