In like lamb and lion. Many thanks for your birthday wishes, and to everyone who messaged me about the heads-up on Radio 3.

Last month was mainly about furniture removal and work; this month will be mainly about....well, the same. My parents' house is now clear, and we're incorporating my mother's furniture into her flat. I'm supposed to be painting the shop, but rain has stopped play, so I'm sitting in a cafe instead, planning lessons.
