Me ma and I were at the library this evening, where she was hosting the opening of an exhibition about Haslar Hospital. When Sir Graball D'Encloseland arrived and I shook his hand, he seemed a bit wary or distant - has he guessed it was me who sent his daughter the Valentine card?? Spent most of the evening talking to Richard from Havant and to family friends Keith and June - as they're of my mother's political colour we kind of gravitated together, especially Richard who was finding the openly political conversation of some ladies from the other side a bit much to take! Top notch buffet, with plenty of peanuts and various tasty types of crisps.

It did actually have a couple of minuscule bits of chocolate on the outside, but I kept up my Lent observance and detached them. When Richard passed round the Maltesers, a lady who'd come and joined our little group declined for the same reason as me - that had June asking us if we were Catholics, which led to a long conversation about who went to what church...
