On This Day…
Managed at least to get the grass cut yesterday and after Lindsay broke the one key to her car in the boot, dad to the rescue and although we didn’t manage to procure a key, I did manage to get the piece out of the lock.
Been catching up on some blog reading and today, MVP and friend Dick Kusleika (Daily Dose of Excel, DDoE) is 38 years and 6 days! (Sorry I missed it Dick)
