Dear Dennis,
I got up at 10 o’clock this morning. The brunette was on the phone to her mother and young Charlie was shouting at her that she was a liar. Saul came upstairs for some sanctuary and we sat in bed watching a cooking programme for a while and once the dust had settled we got up and went down stairs. I think we’re having another barbeque today for lunch as the brunette is planning a raid on Waitrose for just about the time the GP is due to start. I’m told I have to mend the brunettes’ bike although I was chatting to the ‘sophist’ sisters over the fence and they gave me one of their old bikes the other day so, I can make one good out of the two and don’t have to de-rust and re-cable the Brunettes' Sturmey Archer three speed. The brunette is starting a week’s school experience on Monday at Charles school so I have the car for a week but I don’t know what to do with it. I have the doctors on Monday morning and shall get a replacement x-ray card for my foot (he gave me one two years ago but I lost it and haven’t liked to go back and ask for another) and I’ll mention my pins and needles and he’ll point out my excessive weight, tell me of the virtues of curry for breakfast and we’ll part both muttering under our breath. I have dug out some more stuff from my shed to sell on Ebay this week and talk-talk have restricted our out-going calls although they’ve not said why and their offices don’t open until Monday morning. I’ve just been informed that I am involved in the imminent attack on Waitrose …

I watched a short bit of the town festival this morning but it’s all too noisy these days and I can’t understand what they’re singing and the crowds’ state of undress embarrasses me.

My brother doesn’t call me these days – I think it may have something to do with the cold icy day 2nd Rayners Lane cubs played 1st Rayners Lane cubs at footerballs on Roxbourne park and I was so cold I couldn’t run after the ball or even get changed afterward as my hands were too numb and hurt. I gave up footerballs after that and grew my hair longer.

The brunette has mentioned Waitrose again and rattled her keys – catch up later …
