Got the Reliant out and started it with its new number plates

The four-yearly Leap Day famed for proposals and coincidentally the birthday of Daniel’s girlfriend Angela. The day was nice after the fog cleared and was sunny and mild so I saw Debbie off to school, took Della into St Neots library and then came home to get the Reliant out and started it with its new number plates. Stayed in this evening for want of baby-sitter and watched a spy-thriller with Diana in which just about everybody got shot!

A day in five years on which the tradition of ladies being able to propose to their boy-friends is still going strong, the media being full of it. I was wondering about Angela who, as Daniel's girlfriend, is 20 years old today - being born on leap day in 1972 and only having a proper birthday every four years! I slept well last night and was up quite early this morning, seeing Debbie off to school. I decided to take Della into St Neots this morning and we took off and had a nice snack at Brackenbury's before I left her at the library whilst I did some errands. It was a nice interlude but quite tiring for me.

After lunch, I got the Reliant out and took off the old number plates and tried to get some new ones in St Neots. I also managed to start it up and got it working perfectly which was good. It was a nice day, once the fog had cleared, still sunny and mild so that I think that we have seen the back of winter with the end of February. Stayed in this evening for want of baby-sitter and watched a spy-thriller with Diana in which just about everybody got shot!
