Yes, you may well regret having restored me to my wiblog admin link. I mean, I am off work at the moment, after all..... However, any strange mangled words or spellings or anything I can currently blame on the fact that I am typing on the laptop which is not the world's most helpful implement. Bring back pen and paper, that's what I say.
Today is the day when I seem doomed to sit by the phone. The phone number to use to book a visit with my eldest has only one line and this is used for all 400 families asking to book visits to their sons. Getting through is a nightmare and I've heard of people totally missing the chance to visit simply because they did not start phoning early or persistantly enough. But I am determined to be with him for the maximum visit of two hours on his birthday and THEY WILL HEAR ME! Actually, once you finally get through, they are lovely and very helpful.
This being tied permanently to the telephone does have its compensations. My sister is here for a week and has brought her "Walk the Coastal Path" book with her with a rather determined look in her eye. What idiot bought her THAT book, I wonder!
