    Pleased to hear that your Mother is now home @CrankyYankee. It must have been a worrying time for you. Yes, it’s strange, isn’t it, how your parents seem strong and indomitable and then suddenly they seem much less so and much frailer. Anyway, I hope she has enjoyed her birthday today 🎂💐.

    Applied for new passports on-line last weekend.  Dear old Royal Mail took 3 days to get the old passports to the Passport Office on Guaranteed 24 Service!.  Friday had confirmation that passports had been received.  Yesterday e-mail to say 1 passport was being printed.  That's one of two, so hopefully hear something on the other one soon.  Pretty impressive service when the Passport Office site says allow up to 6 weeks.

    I got my new driving licence in a few days. The systems work sometimes.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Many Happy Returns of the Day to your mother @CrankyYankee … do say happy birthday to her from your gardening friends 🎂 🎉

    Good news, CrankyYankee. 
    My RTBC is that Ikea are currently selling mini Easter eggs containing hazelnut flavoured filling. I used to love the hazelnut paste filled Lindt mini eggs, but haven’t seen them for years. These are pretty similar, so I will stock up before they sell out.
    (I know not everyone is an Ikea fan, but I love the place! Love to be able to walk in, see something I like, and usually be able to drive off with it in the car. And our nearest store is only twenty minutes away)

    I always said Waitrose was overpriced.

    They, obviously, saw me coming... But my friend deserves them!
