Thank you...

... to everyone who sent messages, greetings and presents for Ella on her birthday! She had a lovely time in the end: two friends came to play and they bounced for all they were worth on her bouncy castle, then they had 'party tea' and collapsed in a heap.

It was all a bit of a wash-out for me as I spent the entire event in bed with a stomach bug, which Ella has now come down with as well, hence the fact that Mummy is blogging thank you's rather than picking up the telephone - neither of us is capable of it at the moment!

Sadly this entry will be without photos, because although plenty were taken, our digital camera seems not to have transferred the photos into its memory. Again, I could do some fiddling about and see what I can recover but I'm just not up to it at the moment... maybe tomorrow.
