Had a lovely, unexpected knitting session, Chez Hesadevil, with a woman from Hitchin Stitchin' this morning. It helped take the sting out of not being on the boat, as we knitted, chatted and had tea and biscuits.

The rain is keeping us here but not for long. We have a date to meet MWNN's Canadian cousin who is coming to the UK for some family ancestor tracking. On hearing that we'd be in France, he's booked a cottage and a car so that they can visit us. Now that's what I call dedication.

Happy Birthday just_sue and myfeetshowit May today be a good 'un with lots more to come.

And now it's time for lunch.
