Update

So, the major events in March: HMRC gives us a large payment - surely shome mistake?
Mark finally gets some work orders - and now has work again.
Finn gets close to being expelled from school - and has now turned over a new leaf after being bawled at by headmaster... an impressive display.
Ned is working hard for A-levels - and has just got Grade 4 guitar, with Merit! (he thought he'd failed!).
And Finn has appeared in a splendid picture on Facebook:

February

As it is now half way through March I have already forgotten February: but wait, I can check my trusty Calendar...I know the main event was either my birthday or going to Norwich - probably the latter.  Actually I had quite a nice birthday - I went to UEA with Ned - and saw John &Marge (stayed there) and Jeremy.  We had a Robert Poulter soiree, went to a concert in Sandwich by the "famous" Webb sisters - aka The Elves from Lothlorien - two young women with a harp and a guitar and harmonies...actually, it was rather a good social month (drinks with Anna - lunch with Anna T and Robin, lunch with Charlotte, Geek2012 in half term, lunch with Liz, lunch with Julie and Jim) no complaints really.

March began with Pugin's birthday party - an interesting event... graced by Rosemary Hill, author of God's Architect - a biography of Pugin.  Clive also did a try out for his new Puginesque production - and we played pass the parcel with quotes from Pugin.  Then heads down for work.

Mark still has no work at this point - I am temporarily not worried - just bemused.  I have nearly finished my novel - 86,000 words... yipee.
