Funny sort of day

Exercise, cleaning, shower, walk, flop. Meant to make a start on editing the sequel to my novel but watched the excellent but depressing Noughts and Crosses on television instead. Funny sort of day.

But did have ice cream and saw a bunny.

Tomorrow will be better. No cleaning for a start. 

Oh yes, and tried to find the origins of the phrase, 'Bob's your uncle and Fanny's your aunt,' but it seems no-one is certain. Most likely candidate for Bob is the 19th century Lord Salisbury who gave his nephew a good job out of nepotism rather than qualification, but Fanny's origins are a complete mystery.

It's always a good day when a rabbit appears.

Hope you find out about Fanny. I’m curious now!

Aunt Fanny is inter alia a character in Enid Blyton's "famous five" children's books,
if my memory serves me correctly across many decades.

Ice cream, a bunny siting, and pretty honeysuckle. Sounds like a very nice day.
