Up late, around 10:30 or so...

Hard to believe it's a year today since Pam left us...

A bit of a strange day...

Didn't do much - e-mails from Pam's chums in Hemel, who were getting together today to raise a glass to her memory...

Back here, I rehearsed most of the covers we will play in a few weeks time then collated a folder representing the history of the string quartet, and listened to a few of them...

The ones in brackets are not yet in my collection...

Drove to my mum's just before six to pick her up and then on to The Howgate for a lovely meal with sister Sheila - where we too raised our glasses to Pam's memory...

A good night - and, as it's what Pam would have done, we all enjoyed a pudding!

As you can see, Anne's the only one of us who doesn't actually look like a pudding...

Took mum home post meal and we were back at Crispycat Towers around  11, where Anne perused some footie while I enjoyed some Doo Wop...

It's what Pam would have wanted...
