Birthday hamper

Julie arrived today with a hamper as a present for my birthday; she described it as a lockdown survival kit, and it certainly fits that description.  The photobomber with the red collar is Ellie, Julie's dog. 
Today I am twice Julie's age; yesterday I was her age in reverse!
It was the most sociable family day in months albeit virtually, a Zoom with my brother Peter and his wife Joan, and later a Zoom with Guy and Miranda and baby Mari in Vancouver, and Julie and Willie in Laois.  The latter Zoom included an online version of the boardgame Ticket to ride which was good fun; the hamper was raided.
