Friday 12 March:

No early morning walk today, of course, because it’s Moira’s birthday!
Really wild night weather-wise… heavy rain until dawn – but then the sun came out and it ended up being a rather lovely day.
I think Moira had a rather lovely day too… she’d received LOTS of packages (hand-delivered or postman or courier) and birthday cards. The bed was quite a crowded place first thing at ‘opening time’.
We enjoyed a birthday morning coffee together before Moira disappeared for a long, hot bath and I trundled along to Hugo’s again to buy provisions for tonight’s supper (I ended up deciding to cook something – from the Anna Jones’ recipe book that Hannah had given her for her birthday).
My teeth/plate had been giving lots of trouble recently (some of the crowns had ‘slipped’ exposing the pegs etc… and one of the front crowns/pegs felt very weak – and meant I could hardly bite/chew anything) and so I managed to book a dental appointment for next Tuesday (with some trepidation… and the prospect of likely expense!).
Read some more of my book in the afternoon.
We had a birthday zoom chat with Ru+Iris+Rosa after school – which was good (Iris very pleased to be back at school; Rosa just pleased it was the weekend!).
The birthday supper I cooked (‘saag aloo shepherd’s pie’) worked reasonably well… but I certainly felt out of practice with trying to cook unfamiliar recipes (need more practice!).
Evening telly: another ‘Art Club’ (so good!).
