Hello wordsmith, hewee, Cookiegal and IMP49,
A very experienced bachelor inevitably has mixed feelings on some of the days of the year. I think birthdays qualify. This year, for whatever reason, was different. I know because I didn't kick the cat or deny the dog a wander. No crockery suffered my distaste and the cook was pleased with the leisured pace of my scoffing. The neighbours may have been noisy but I didn't hear them. The movies watched have been excellent and the books, in-the-reading, pleasing. Positively smug describes well my condition.
But it couldn't have anything to do with this thread - no, I don't think so. Then again (and this is difficult writing) I have to answer this question. What did I do three or more times in two days on visiting TSG that I had cannot remember having done since Marlene left us? The answer is, I went to 'Announcements' - just in case.
Thank-you, each and all.
Ben.
