Afternoon all. %26lt%3B3 %3A-D

Beautiful weather here too, Ann.

My OH would agree with you Von.

He had to renew his licence yet again a short while ago. When his new one arrived he asked me where the envelopes were so he could return his old on. I told him that I just chopped my old one into pieces and ditched it, however, I knew he would not rock the boat as far as the law is concerned and he got an envelope, addressed it then looked for a stamp. I have several of different denominations.

I asked myself when did he last post anything when he stuck on a10p stamp and asked whether it was enough postage. I fell about laughing at which point he peeled off the stamp. I told him to stick the envelope in the box as it was as I thought it should be postage-free returns - but I did not check. Clearly he had not checked either but he sent it as it was as neither of us could actually be bothered checking. %3A-S

We bought a ready-prepared fuchsia hanging-basket a short while ago and it is glorious at the moment, with a huge number of flowers on it. OH is looking after it as if it was his baby. I should be so lucky! %3A-0 %3A-D

Belle…both ours were %3A-0 %3A-0

Had a bit of a bumpy ride renewing OH cos he had the old paper one, the form came back from DVLA twice because we had not filled it in to their satisfaction %3A-0 %3A-0

Mine was straight forward because I had already exchanged my paper one for photo ID, we eventually sorted it…and along came his new license minus his birth certificate! %3A-0 %3A-0

Evening everyone %3A-%29

It's been a beautiful day here, although I've been in fielding phone calls for much of the time and sorting out family tree stuff for daughter's friend.

Makes a change from chasing JENKINS in Wales, when the enumerator in more than one census decided to name the children with just 1st initial of their name %3A-%7C %3A-%7C %3A-%7C
I need all the help I can get with that family.


Maddie
Hope it all sorts itself out soon for you.
