Thanks everyone. We would have had a big family 'do' but that's not happening due to circumstances. We had some cards and messages and that is good enough ..plus of course the posts here. Thanks again.



Funny you should say that Judd. The family text messages this morning went..

Children: Happy Ruby wedding anniversary.
Me: We know a song about that don't we? Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby!!
Son: A pity it's not Tuesday.
Me: Well we are having a Ruby Murray (curry) later.

..and so we will be.

Edit: I almost forgot. I risked life and limb by climbing up a ladder early this morning to cut some roses. Also gathered a few other flowers that are out as well. Romance isn't dead.
