    Well, Wednesday we’re celebrating Si’s birthday, and of course it’s Si’s actual birthday on Saturday. Plus, somehow, I’ve got to get his decorations up - I was banking on help from Katie and Dom but they can’t now. I’ve also got to wrap his presents. So, other than that, yeah

    I just hope I don’t have the low pressure symptoms this time
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Sneak Katie and Dom in anyway. Who’s going to stop you?

    If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t run, then walk, if you can’t walk, then crawl, but by all means keep moving.

    No, because Katie’s not living on her own - at least that’s how I understood it.

    My issue is putting banners up high and Jess is too tiny to be of any use there pmsl

    Me. Because I’m not a rule breaker - particularly as I’m more vulnerable

    I'd go for low banners as low banners is better than no banners

    You know what?
    A had his 50th in lockdown, we were supposed to be in Potugal but we had a lockdown celebration here when even the take aways were still closed down and he still had a lovely birthday.
    Do low banners, Katie can eat dinner with you via zoom if she cant be there in person. Is it what the plan was? Probably not but I bet Si will enjoy his birthday anyway because you are there and love him.x

    Katie’s first offer on the house was refused so she’s gone back with a higher one. My stomach is churning big time atm - it feels like it’s all a bit much
