A good day...

I ought to start by wishing my grandmother a happy birthday - 102 today. :-) It's a great achievement and while it's a shame she can't always see it that way, I think she enjoyed herself.

Also - we have water - yay! It's not safe to drink yet, so they are still handing out bottled water, but we can flush loos, have baths and deal with the small mountain of washing that has built up since last Sunday. For us, the crisis is nearly over.

And a minor point, but we had a visit from two of our most senior directors today. They were very positive about the shop and made a point of saying how good my section looked. It isn't any more than an ego boost, but I do take pride in getting my pens looking right and it's good to have that recognised.

Great news all the way around! Happy birthday to your grandmother, and congrats on your deserved praise. I'm so glad that you have water again, too.

Great news about your Gran's birthday! I don't have a cake icon yet, so how about an apple?

102! Wow, that's a good age to reach.

And yay for the improvement on the water situation.
