Hello (again) Dolly

It's been a long, harsh winter but she has survived albeit a bit worse for wear - but then most of us know that feeling.

Earlier Joe had his first match of the new season and the sun was shining too. His team edged to a narrow victory 6-4 but he had to limp off with a dodgy heel which was causing him some pain. Eve has gone up the street with some pals and Ruby is pacing round the house in frustration as she has been confined to quarters until she knocks the virus on the head.

I can look out the window and see people sat outside The Waterside drinking and basking in the sunshine. Now I've had a couple of hours out on the bike I may have to join them.
