I’m not the only one.

Better bloggers than me have suffered the same trauma – Doctor Maroon and Kenju spring to mind- and I remember comforting them saying it was probably a mistake, but when it happens to oneself it’s different kettle of fish and it hurts. Was it something I said? The trouble is we rarely can spot who it is - the follower who has deserted us. Maybe it was the same person - intent on being cruel to bloggers.

Does anybody know why Friday 13th is reputed to be unlucky? Why did they choose to have Comic Relief today? And could somebody tell Arthur Scargill that he is NOT ‘Take That ‘and his day in the sun is done. I’m burbling I know but it’s my birthday on Sunday – not the big one – and I’m allowed the odd burble.

Two early cards gave me particular pleasure – my sister in the States remembered – having forgotten the last two years and one from a girl who lived at the bottom of our lane and who I have known since we were toddlers – ‘Friends for ever ‘ as she says.
We are spending it at The Dragon House, after having had a lovely lunch there the other week. I’ve tried to lose the odd pound in preparation but I’m undone if anyone gives me chocolates.
