[Magdalen] Prayers, please

[Lesley de Voil]

Hi Marion, I've been rather quiet - owing to some unpleasantness around my
getting fired from my job of five years, about which I can't say much at
the moment.  However, I do have more time for gardening , even though it's
still winter here. Brisbane is still in lock down, so Tripper ( my rescue
cat) is happy to have me home most days- she loves to sleep on my lap,
although I have to persuade her not to knead my pants, they're daggy enough
 without getting all fluffy as well!
 I hope your surgery  comes soon.....

Regards
Lesley de Voil
