Today would have been my Dad’s 83rd birthday, this is him with my sister, me and Julie the first family beagle.

70s photo of my dad, my sister, myself and Julie the beagle in a harbour somewhere (probably on the NE coast).

First day back at work tomorrow after 9 weeks in hospital and 8 weeks convalescing at home. I suspect most of my day will be spent waiting for my password to be reset as I can’t remember what it was and it has well and truly expired anyway.

I’ve been through it in a much larger organisation, it’s not fun.
I was wondering if it was going to come down to a Battle Royale for the job, armed only with yoghurt making tools Clarie and Susan have to fight it out, last woman standing gets the job.#thearchers

I love Dave, he looks fabulous.
