Postlady has just been.

Cards from people we thought had forgotten us; including one from Bigsister with the boys' gifts in.

Thunderthighs had just got back from banking his uncle and auntie's cheque so was delighted to see it was cash.

I made him phone her and my Middlesister was still there, so they both got to have a nice, happy stress-free chat with him.

There was also a package addressed to Fester.   

He hadn't been able to get a page-per-day Dr Who calendar in the shop so they organised for it to be sent by post, but the strike got in the way.   

So he'd bought Thunderthighs an ordinary Dr Who calendar (if such a thing exists).

I gave Thunderthighs the resealed package in the kitchen.

"Is this for me? Really!"

He was so pleased he dashed upstairs to the office and barged in with a delighted 

"What can I say!"

Almost better than if it had worked out as planned.

Mrs Walker  Lovely to see delight in simple things!
