Very well done aristo. Thank you for your cheering votes mattrom and chris and mentions fj, nemo, pigale and steve (retrospectively!)
Thank you for such a wonderful word to clue, sw. It must be really gutting to arrive a day late for something you really wanted to attend. Do you always remember to take Skye home after your walks?
I hesitate to suggest a wall diary, with the things you really want to attend/do entered in bright red Sharpie, put somewhere you can both see it and your daughter possibly not? My mama used to say I'd be late for my own funeral, which I guess is better than being early for it.
