It was a little warmer last night, so I slept right through till morning. We went to breakfast as usual, then came back here to read the paper which had been kindly slipped under our door. Then it was The Stretch and Flex exercise class, but we went anyway, with the idea of staying only 1\2 an hour. Even though it was only that short time, I was quite exhausted when we left and came back to the apartment. I meant to just rest a little while in my chair, but I went to sleep for an hour! Then I got up and worked a while on recording our medical expenses of the last few months of last year, and what we have so far this year. I didn't get very far along, but after lunch I tackled it again. I managed to to get Chris's all caught up, and got started on mine, but I still didn't get it very far at all. I went back to watch TV for the Rick Steves program, and then we went to dinner. It was John White's 98th birthday, and they passed a piece of the birthday cake all around to all of us in the dining room. It was later than usual, so the cake got to everybody there, including of course his family who had come to celebrate with him. It was nice that he wanted to share with everybody. He is healthy looking, for all of the years he has spent, and walks without a cane or anything, taking care of his wife., and driving his car occasionally. He once told me he lost his first wife and married again to have someone to take care of him. But it didn't work out that way. It's his present wife, Jane, that he is taking care of now. After dinner we watched our usual Brit TV shows, one is in a complete re-run, so we have seen most of it once before. But we missed some, so there are a few surprises.
