A lovely day yesterday, an op tomorrow and the 20th anniversary of the Festival

Well, thanks V, for a really lovely birthday yesterday.  The weather was glorious.  We went to the Navigli and had brunch with some friends and then strolled around the antiques market.  He also bought me some really good presents.

All in all, fantastic and exactly how a birthday should be – perfect.

I am currently thinking about S, who goes to have a knee operation tomorrow.  At least, one hopes, it will be the cure and stop the excruciating pain.

Unfortunately, especially as it’s their 20th year, it looks like we won’t be going to the Hay Festival this year.  And the programme looks good.  A lot of the regular people and, as usual, some interesting names and events.

Ah well, who knows for next year?

Again, this year, there’s the Hay Fringe Festival run by M.  Well done, M.  I hope it goes well for you.
