Elena 11th birthday

seems like yesterday she was born. not sure where 11 years have gone. amazing weather here in UK around 28-30 degrees and felt hotter and this the start of October. she woke us at 7.30 am, not too bad and presents opened, mainly books and lego, at her request and thankfully a request that amazon fulfilled. Greyhound walking for a few hours, followed by curry buffet and then home again with extended family over. Sitting in the garden playing scrabble ( well I took only a little part, never heard of most of the words). altogether a nice day. Shadow is not happy with me ( black cat for those who have not met her). i was throwing out old cold tea in the garden and suddenly saw a black shadow-literally!-  streak by. Seems she was standing where tea landed. Cue one unhappy black cat avoiding me all evening! Nice cake though. Yasmin was baking at 8 am this morning ( not a usual happening) but produced a great Hedgehog cake to Elena’s specifications. It was actually the same cake, not literally, as for her 4th birthday, and she saw a photo of said cake recently.
