After the awful weather of late, out of nowhere came glorious sunshine today - even though it was cold.  Rufus and I had a fun time in the park for an hour.  

Early evening bro and I went for a very nice meal at Fox and Raven as we were both feeling rather low in spirits and in need of a mood booster - and what could be better than going for a nice meal to restore the spirits.  

Maddy, my niece is staying the night again. and now, at 00.30, I'm toddling off for an early night, leaving her to watch TV or whatever twenty sths do these days.
