Days are getting lighter, hopefully weather warming up soon now we are really into spring.

glad the wind has died down now.
Well done replacing the slate yourself, as I know what a pain it is if you have to contact a landlord to do stuff.
Did you get out and about today?

oh no what a nuisance the optician cancelled and even worse that you missed the call telling you. Did that mean you wasted money on a taxi going there? What a nuisance you now have to wait all week till Friday!
How odd you had problems with the news videos. Good job the Edge sorted it.
How lovely, I bet your OH will be well pleased with your gift wrapped Easter pressie this year. 
I bet she will be surprised with your remembering it was Easter, as she is so used to you forgetting her birthday. 
Hope she gets you an Easter gift this year. Mabye you should buy yourself one just to make sure you don't miss out?
Let me know how your samasos come out when you make them.
Glad the tomato dish turned out so well.
My family are really enjoying some fresh pesto sauce we got from costco, so I have made some oven baked bread the last few days for them to dip it in. We samped it originally in Costco, so of course we had to buy some then. They are very clever giving out free samples, as it often pursuades people to buy stuff they wouldn't normally.
Not a bad day today weather wise, got all the washing dried too.
Did a bit of a food shop and met son in tescos. I had to calm him down as the assignment work is being piled on him before Easter and the group assignment work they have to do at the moment is driving him mad. His group were supposed to meet at 9am as agreed yesterday morning, he got there on time and none of the others turned up, despite him hanging around an hour for them! This is not the first time they have done this. Now they have to be in the Uni till 8pm tomorrow! I told him that is real life, and you just have to get on with it, when others let you down, but I bought him his sausage and cheese bap and a hot choc to cheer him up, which worked well.
Watched the train man in India, very interesting, now watching the hotel man in Ireland.
Goodnight both xxx
