...and a strange one too, things pencilled into the diary for almost a year are suddenly aren't there any more so a bit of unexpected time gained and it means I can join in with the NTTVBG over at Simon's today...or will be able to when I've finished the book.
Just in case you missed the Wikio excitement, I'm flagging this link up for you to see too and appreciate now while it's there. Please don't ask me to explain how these things happen but I'm naturally very excited and honoured that we are there for this month at least, and in amongst such esteemed company.
Except, to be very honest that sort of thing terrifies me slightly too. In fact I think it might be best to forget all about it after today and carry on as usual, but my sincere and grateful thanks to all of you for getting us there. Please share the moment and have a little jump up and down where ever you are and
help yourself to some celebratory Tinker birthday profiteroles (go on, a bit more chocolate won't hurt) and there might be a drizzle of champers left....or I'll put the kettle on and we'll have a nice pot of tea instead.
I hope you all had a lovely Easter and feel rested and refreshed . We had a fine day with the Tinker celebrating his 85th birthday and thank you for all your kind comments and good wishes, he was very touched and is now packed and raring to set sail on his adventure.

and Mary also the only person to score 9/10 in Erika's quiz and get two of those three last few very tricky questions right....here are the answers for anyone still tearing their hair out over those.
