So much for fish and broccoli. The laundry is in, the dishwasher has been emptied the new load of dirties has started to grow. It’s sitting at 70° so it’s been especially loverly!! I was born 20 April, 1953, so I may have you slightly outdistanced. Chicken always beats fish and broccoli. Enjoy dinner. ---
