Nice To Have A Lunch Out

debris4spike... despite the awful weather on my drive there. It was heavy, heavy rain. Not nice when you are on a dual carriageway with a lot of lorries around.
Still, it was good to catch up with Toni (& her husband). They also had her dad and step-mum with them. So, all in all a good lunch. It was to celebrate Toni's birthday which is actually tomorrow, but that means her celebrations spread out!
This morning I walked into Exeter as I had to sign a load of paperwork for the sale of the house that I am a trustee for. Mum & Dad's neighbours had a few family problems (I think I have mentioned this before), so they asked if I would be willing to be a trustee, with a distant cousin. They were good friends, especially to Mum & Dad, so I said I would. It's been pretty complicated, but luckily for me I have had very little to do, as the other trustee is a retred solicitor, so he has done much of the stuff. Hopefully, 18 months on, the house is now sold, so over the next few weeks everything should be finalised.
I am going to get some icons made today before I switch the computer off, again.
But, before I get on -
23. On this day in 1842 Charles Dickens arrived in Boston, Massachusetts, to start a tour of the US (he wrote about it in a travelogue: American Notes for General Circulation). Have you a favourite Dickens novel?
Had to read Oliver Twist at school, but that’s the only one I have read.
However having seen a few films I do like the story of “A Tale Of Two Cities”
24. It’s the International Day of Education – what was your favourite class in school?
Maths
I liked history, as well. Although I was never any good at remembering names, and specific dates, so was advised to drop it when I chose my “options”.
Right, let's get on x
