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

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 canโ€™t remember what it was and it has well and truly expired anyway.

Iโ€™ve been through it in a much larger organisation, itโ€™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

Iโ€™m not sure I approve of this toying with future archaeologists, though itโ€™s a good puzzle for them to solve.
