Party!

Yesterday, we went to cousin Lynda and Ian's joint birthday party, and as a surprise, they also announce that they've got married, after 33 years living in sin. The cabaret wasn't very good, but we all had a great time. We got home late, so I didn't go out today, and when I saw the rain lashing down, I was rather glad.

Tomorrow I'm planning to go to Portsmouth, because the weather forecast has it dry there. There's enough caches around the town since I was last there to keep me busy all day, so I'll park at the East end of town and spend the day on the bike.

The splint for my little finger arrived, but it was too small, even though I'd measured carefully. So I ordered the next size up (medium), and even that is a bit too small for my little finger! I'll try the "large". I thnk that the naming of these is all wrong, and also the quoted diameters. So here's a useful tip - if you're buying a splint for a mallet finger, try to buy it in a shop where you can try it on before buying. Also, I'm not really sure that "mallet finger" is what I have. We'll see what the doctor says when I visit next week.
