Uncousin visit

It's been a lovely day ... found Gareth Malone on BBC replay, starting a choir of celebrities in an effort to raise money for this years "Children in Need" appeal.  I spent most of the time with tears in my eyes ... you'll know who I mean I'm sure.

I walked Kitty to school this morning. Rachel told me off yesterday for not doing my requisite walking so I hastened to do what I was told today!    No sooner was I home than it started pouring with rain and it has hardly stopped since.

My "uncousin" from Kent arrived this afternoon so we spent five solid hours catching up and chatting as though it was only last week that we saw each other. She has managed to find a B and B literally around the corner so we will catch up again with a wee walk to the shops tomorrow morning before she returns home in the afternoon.

We went out for an evening meal at a very pleasant eatery at about 5.30pm.  Far be it from me to boast but I almost found myself a fella whilst there - a poor unsuspecting man at the bar.  Oh ok ... but why ruin a good story with the truth?  It was the maitre d's fault for asking for my phone number.   And it was then I noticed a white haired gentleman sitting across from us looking a little bemused when I pulled out a piece of paper with my UK mobile number on it in large print.  I think he thought it was for HIS benefit!  I might try that line again some time!  Or not!!!

So it's been a good day with another one ahead to look forward to tomorrow.  It's so nice having family around.
